I thank the Minister of State for his response, but in this case the law is an ass. We are not making the child's needs paramount; rather, we are putting rules and regulations within a system of administration before him. I am very sorry that this is the response we have received. I ask the Minister of State to seek a specific review of the case, because if the child has to move to a different school he will lose the current support he receives from Sligo HSE, which will be detrimental to his health and well-being. It is a serious issue and I would welcome a review of the case if the Minister of State is willing to do so.
