Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
7:00 pm
Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)
I wish to re-emphasise the points I made regarding a delay of three months as distinct from the one month I proposed in making a decision on a referral and the specific needs regarding assessments and individual plans for children in schools. In regard to those two aspects, there is a possibility and potential for unnecessary delay when it is vital we must move quickly when a need has been identified and assessed.
