I ask for a clarification on that. If a school is permitted an autism spectrum disorder, ASD, class, everybody in the community breathes a sigh relief when they finally are to get their ASD class. All of a sudden, it might be said locally that the class will take two, three or four years. Is somebody from the Department monitoring that? Is someone beating down the door of that school's board of management to say the Department wants the school completed by "X" date and that is it?
