Ms Martina Mannion:

The Deputy has touched on the very important issue of transition, of which the Department is very conscious. We have a number of strategies to support the transitions of children with special education needs. In the first instance, we have a steering group that rotates the Chair between the HSE and the National Council for Special Education, which has at its heart a process to provide access for all school leavers who require specialist support through an appropriate transition programme.
