Ms Eimear O'Rourke:

On the issue of music and of reasonable accommodations for State examinations; I believe there is a little bit of work to be done there to support our deaf students who are sitting the State examinations. We have reached out to our inspector on that and we are hoping to have more discussions as to what should be in place for those students so that they can fully access in an equal way with our hearing peers. Yes, reasonable accommodation should be looked at for deaf students.
