Issues Affecting People with Dyslexia and Dyscalculia: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Andrea Feeney:
There is a public procurement process ongoing at the moment, so I cannot say. That contract should be placed in the coming weeks. There is one facet of the scheme that Ireland was unique on, namely, the development of the spelling and grammar waiver, which came in as part of the Callaghan expert advisory group. As far as we know, up to a certain point, it was unique to the Irish jurisdiction to have a spelling and grammar waiver. That is one of the aspects that we need to particularly look at in the context of reviewing and undertaking that research.
