Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
7:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
As I understand the position, this amendment is no longer necessary. As a result of changes made in the other House to the published Bill, school-based assessments must also include a statement of findings as an inherent part of the assessment process and the timeframes that apply thereto. The same criteria apply to the different types of assessment in the legislation. There is no need to substitute "Act" for "section" because the difficulty has been addressed in the other section.
