Very significant levels of financial provision are made to ensure that all children with special educational needs can be provided with an education appropriate to their needs.

In 2018 my Department invested over €1.75 billion on making additional provision for children with special educational needs.

Based on a 15% increase, the 2022 allocation would be €2 billion.
