Cecilia Keaveney (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

I wanted to raise the issue that the special assistant in that class for moderately handicapped students was to be removed when the class for severely handicapped students was formed. It was deemed unnecessary to have a special assistant in a class of moderately handicapped children and they were to be moved to the class for severely handicapped students. I was eager to present my case. As I recall, it was my first Adjournment debate matter. Unfortunately, Deputy Allen was given the wrong school and came in with the wrong information about the school. As Deputies are aware, the Adjournment debate can be frustrating when a new Deputy finds he or she is not even getting the answer on the real issue.
