Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

An Inclusive Education for an Inclusive Society: Discussion

Mr. John Kearney:

If there are individual issues pertaining to special needs, we would feed in and assist with the deliberations, but the independent decision-making is conducted and chaired by an independent review body, which would have a variety of perspectives presented, from a school leadership and school representative perspective, with a parental contribution too, with a view to the best decision being taken in the various situations that are presented to the review board.
