I move amendment No 11:

In page 15, line 4, to delete "one year" and substitute "three months".

The sentiment behind this amendment is to get the education board up and running in the shortest possible time. While certain steps must be carried out to facilitate its proper establishment, when the Oireachtas dealt with the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004, it agreed to pass an order establishing a special education council prior to the passing of the Act to allow for its speedy implementation. All agree that it is important that this particular board be established and put into operation as quickly as possible.
