In any case where a child is refused admission, an appeal can be made to the Department of Education and Skills and it will turn over instances where schools are discriminatory against children with special educational needs. The admissions Bill currently before the House contains explicit provision not only to outlaw discrimination of that nature but to give the National Council for Special Education powers to compel a school to take an individual child and open a special needs centre should that be required.
