- Seanad: Special Educational Needs (27 May 2009)
John Moloney: If I can be allowed move off my prepared script to answer Senator Corrigan's last question, I am aware of people who left school last year. I intend to deal with that.

- Seanad: Special Educational Needs (27 May 2009)
John Moloney: It is my intention to be open about what exactly we can do in providing the service. It is certainly not my intention to leave it until the last day to announce the services.

As former councillors in County Laois, Senator Phelan and I are familiar with this issue as it is a regular and significant cause of concern. Members of...
