I can assure the Deputy that there is wide consultation on this review. The Deputy will be aware that the chairman of the NCSE, Mr. Eamon Stack, is a former inspector of the Department of Education and Skills and a man of high reputation. The review is being conducted to ensure that the full potential of each child is secured. Great care will be taken to ensure that all evidence on need in this area, international and domestic, will be gathered. Having had sight of the work done on the resource teaching model, which I believe is a much better model as a result of the review, I look forward to the findings and recommendations of the new review early in the new year.
