Education for Persons with Disabilities Bill 2003: Report Stage (Resumed).
12:00 pm
Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)
We cannot infringe the constitutional rights of the parents in legislation. The fact that the school is designated imposes an obligation on it to enrol the child, if the parents desire. It does not impose an obligation on the parents to send the child to that school so it does not infringe their rights in that sense.
