I wish to raise two issues with the Tánaiste. Earlier this month, the parents of children with Down's syndrome met the Minister for Education and Skills on the need to fast-track learning supports to end what they describe as educational discrimination for children who have been officially diagnosed with mild Down's syndrome. It will cost about €1 million to put these supports in place. Can the Tánaiste assure the House that they will be put in place by September? I will tell the Tánaiste where the money can be obtained.
