- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Disability Services: Discussion (31 Jan 2023)
Lynn Ruane: The witnesses referred to increasing the number of places in training. Is the biggest barrier the number of people training to be SLTs?
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Disability Services: Discussion (31 Jan 2023)
Lynn Ruane: So there is no real analysis yet of where that cohort of new trainees each year is going.

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Disability Services: Discussion (31 Jan 2023)

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Disability Services: Discussion (31 Jan 2023)
Lynn Ruane: Some of my other questions concern development and early intervention.

Lynn Ruane: It is in relation to young people entering into adulthood who want to go on to third level or further education. Trinity has a specific programme for people with Down's syndrome.
