Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 February 2004
328 Mr. J. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason no one from the primary sector is involved in the 12 member committee reviewing special needs; if he will move to put someone from the said area on this committee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2925/04]
View answerAs I previously stated, in appointing the new National Council for Special Education I put in place a group of people with a wide range of knowledge and experience in this area. In doing this I did not set out to create a council which was representative of any particular sectoral interests, as I feel that it is very important that the council should operate in a cohesive, non representative way.
