Therapists should land in Carrigtwohill for the first time ever on 1 May.

They will be accompanied by an OT, a physiotherapist and a speech and language therapist. Myself and the team here have met with Mr. Gloster with regard to whatever cannot be found or filled at that stage. We must have therapists in there. The plan is that on 1 May, therapists will be reinstated in the school. Going forward with the new school in Carrigtwohill, and all new special schools coming on board, it will be in the remit of the local CDNT under whoever the team lead is to support that school. We will always start out with an understanding that time will be allocated for an OT, a physiotherapist, and a speech and language therapist. That is the position right across the country.
