I am glad that the Minister of State is quite familiar with RPM, has had engagement with families on it and can see the benefits of it. That is encouraging. I take the point that you have to cut your cloth to measure and that different children will require different things. No one is suggesting that it will be a silver bullet but a request has been made for a pilot programme to be examined. The Minister of State says it can be used, but this stuff is not free. As things stand, if a child requires RPM and a school believes it is beneficial, will the Department fund it? Is there scope for the Department to fund it as things stand?
