Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill 2003: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

12:00 pm

Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)

It has happened in the Bill, which provides that if the Minister for Finance fails to make adequate provision and resources available to the Minister for Health and Children or the Minister for Education and Science, or both, to discharge their duties under the legislation, those who suffer may have grounds for review of the Minister's failure by the High Court. That is a key advance at the heart of the Bill, which has never before been included in legislation. I commend the Minister of State and the Minister for Education and Science for achieving it.
