Dr. Niall Muldoon:

If the Department of Education is looking at the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act on its own, it is in a silo again. These conversations should be happening in the round. Whether they are about disability, education or health, they need to converge. It tells us that the disability legislation is waiting for the equality legislation to be finalised so that we have a definition of equality. We need to be talking to each other in the round at the same time so that we can move things forward as opposed to step by step. Who knows how long that would take? We will push hard for that. I will ask my colleague to speak on inclusive education and segregated classes.
