Ms Martina Mannion:
The NCSE is aware of any child who needs a school placement. It is, and has been, working with the schools and it is satisfied the provision that is available in Cork is sufficient to meet the needs of children in Cork at primary and post-primary level. The particular challenge we faced in Cork in the past two years related to special schools. As I said, we have opened a new special school in Carrigaline and we are opening another new special school in Rochestown later on this year. The particular challenge was at special school level but we are satisfied the work we have done already this year-----
