Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)

In regard to section 4(6) I referred earlier to the use of the word "individual" and said it should be consistent throughout the Bill. That element is running through the Bill from start to finish. I do not understand the reason it is omitted from section 3(3). I am not sure of the appropriateness of the wording, "arrange for an assessment of the student to be carried out". The inclusion of the words, "to take account of that student's specific needs" would be far better as they would take into account the special needs of each student. With regard to the individual, if we want to be consistent as suggested by the Minister of State, individuality is provided for, as Senator Fitzgerald said, but why has it been omitted in this instance? Its inclusion would enhance the section.
