Ms Toni O'Dwyer:

I am not sure that we will ever have a critical mass of visiting teachers to justify training them in Ireland because I am not sure we would have that level of expertise in terms of training. So I agree with the current system of training people in the UK. We need to consider putting in additional capacity, that is, not necessarily expanding the visiting teacher service as it is but putting in supports to align with that or whatever other supports that are out there like the NCBI.
