Support for children with Down syndrome

Summary

Deputy Finian McGrath asks for legislation addressing discrimination against children with Down syndrome and resource teaching hours; the Tánaiste refers to an earlier answer and provides no new commitment.

Does the Tánaiste have any plans to introduce education legislation to resolve the issues of discrimination against children with Down's syndrome and resource teaching hours? If not, can the Minister for Education and Skills deal with these issues as these children need support and resources and to have their rights vindicated?

My answer is on the record. The Deputy knows the answer.
