John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I acknowledge the Minister of State's response. I accept he is not directly responsible but I wish to put on record how disgusted I am with what happened in this case. I appreciate that something happened to the file and it slipped through the net. However, the two years this child has spent in primary education cannot be recovered. It will take more than five hours of resource teaching per week to reverse the damage that has been done, if it is even possible to do so. I accept what the Minister of State said and I hope nothing like this ever happens again.
