Ms Noeleen Smith:

It is just that. What is going to be done when these kids move on? Is there any plan in place? There is a serious lack of secondary school places. Where I am from in Cavan there is an autism class in Oldcastle, which is not too far from Ballyamesduff. That is okay for a child in a mainstream class. In an autism class in a primary school setting, there are high ceilings and so many of the rooms have been designed for these kids. There seems to be none of that for second level schools. It is a huge worry that the same effort is not put into the secondary schools.
