I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive reply. This is an issue which has been ongoing for the student since October 2020. During the pandemic, it has been highlighted that technology is extremely important. The Minister of State has said that there is another opportunity for this student to have her application looked at again and that the appeals process is there. That would be most helpful to her and her parents, who have been in contact with me and are very concerned that she receive extra help in school. For any student who has additional learning needs or mobility problems, if there is anything we can do to assist them and embrace their educational opportunities, we need to do that. I welcome the response from the Minister of State this morning.
