Education for Persons with Disabilities Bill 2003: Report Stage (Resumed).
12:00 pm
Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)
I too welcome the Minister's amendment. We have had a big issue on Committee Stage over the use of the word "progress". I know "development" is only a word, but it is a more positive way of looking at matters. We had a discussion yesterday as regards pre-school children. It is important that they are included. I made the point yesterday and I reiterate it as regards how much can be changed for the child if his or her condition is detected at an early age. This amendment deals with this.
