Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This morning we woke up to good news in Cork; that a new special school is to be temporarily established in Rochestown and that the school sites in St. Killian’s Special School, Mayfield and Carrigaline Community Special School will be extended. This is great news for special education provision in Cork in the Minister’s constituency and in my constituency, respectively. In light of the decision two weeks ago on the standard operating procedure, SOP, assessment being undertaken by the HSE, can the Minister tell me what the Government is likely to do in terms of the validity of the SOP assessment of education rules?
