I apologise for my late arrival. I was in the Seanad. I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee. Coincidentally this week, my Labour Party colleagues are debating a motion on personal assistance service. Can the witnesses recommend an overarching definition of the function and role of personal assistants? Are there any suggestions as to how we could improve the disability access route to education to have a more suitable model?
