Written Answers. - Special Educational Needs.
My Department sanctioned the allocation of a child care assistant post to cater for the needs of a special needs pupil attending a school within County Limerick VEC for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years. It is understood that the person referred to by the Deputy was appointed to that post.
My Department recently sanctioned the continuation of the allocation for the current school year. The VEC has been requested to make arrangements to remunerate the child care assistant without delay.
