I wish to refer to the point made by Deputy Finian McGrath on children with Down's syndrome. In light of the Department's announcement that it will not be proceeding with the revised model for allocating special needs teaching hours and resources, will the Tánaiste ensure that as of this coming September children diagnosed with mild, as opposed to moderate, Down's syndrome will be granted a specific number of resource hours rather than being specifically excluded, as they are currently?
