Text

I thank the Member for giving way. I do not understand how it is discriminatory to ask that a workforce, including child psychologists and speech and language therapists, be planned for, particularly when it comes to children with SEN. Is it not discriminatory not to plan ahead and make sure that those people are in place for children coming through Irish-medium education?
