Many Members of the House have asked for action to be taken on the issue of special educational needs places and therapies over the past year or so. As the Taoiseach is aware, many members of the Fianna Fáil Parliamentary Party have been calling for legislation in this area for a long time. I welcome progress on emergency legislation and I understand that a presentation was made at this morning's Cabinet meeting. Will the Taoiseach outline how exactly we have arrived at this situation and explain how it is proposed to deal with this substantive issue?
