Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising this question. This matter can be addressed on two counts. The first is through the transition planning the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, and the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, have put in place for children as they are exiting school. Second, this can be complemented with additional personal assistant, PA, support to ensure people get equal access to further education so they can access employment. The PA route is a solution.
