Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill 2003: Committee Stage (Resumed).
11:00 am
Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)
I support the amendment. Does the Minister of State's Department have the personnel, resources and expertise to provide such services? If not, will this involve an additional charge arising from the implementation of the Bill to provide the necessary linguistic expertise? Psychologists and other professionals who do not have access to translators or interpreters may not be competent to deliver the required assessments.
