Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

I would be most anxious to ensure that all children, particularly those with special needs, should have full and ongoing access to suitable education services.

I have asked my Department's inspectorate to investigate and report on the matter raised by the Deputy. As soon as this report is received, I will respond further to the Deputy.
