I am not sure what the Deputy is talking about.

On the previous question, I should have said to Deputy McDonald that we were hoping to have a meeting of the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference, BIIGC, in the coming weeks.

To respond to Deputy Burton's question, the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, is aware of the recent demand for additional special class and special school placements in the Dublin area. The council is actively engaged with schools, school patrons, parents, the National Educational Psychological Service, health professionals and others who are involved in the provision of services for children with special educational needs to ensure each child will have a school placement appropriate to his or her needs in the 2019-20 school year. This work is ongoing and the Department is liaising closely with the NCSE in that regard.
