I was interested in getting a few facts and figures from the witnesses. When I started teaching in the early 1970s, dyslexia was not on the radar at all. It was only when I finished my first 12 years teaching in south Dublin that it began to come onto the radar and present in classrooms and as a worry to parents. In light of that, when did the special provisions and measures to assist students come in? Can Ms Feeney put a date on it?
