39 Deputy Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he can facilitate the creation of proper schooling for children with special needs in the necessary areas in view of the fact that it costs €1,800 a week in taxi fares to transport a child with autism to proper teachers and facilities which seems like an extreme waste of scarce resources in hard economic times and also causes unnecessary stress on students with special needs; if he will investigate this waste and consider providing the appropriate teachers in schools closer to the students; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
