In the previous question the Minister alluded to the fact that she was keen to see the free preschool year rolled out to a second year. Given the relatively low number of children with special educational needs who availed of the preschool year split over two years - I understand the figures were 261 in 2012 and 232 in 2013 - will the Minister consider the possibility of introducing a full second preschool year for children with special educational needs?
