Alan M. Dukes
Question:94 Mr. Dukes asked the Minister for Education if, in the case of a junior certificate student (details supplied) in County Kildare whose literacy problem is sufficient to interfere with his ability to complete written exams, he will accede to a request from the student's parents, school principal and psychologist to have his written work for the junior certificate examined by a person familiar with his disability; if he will give the reason or reasons for his Department's refusal of a previous application for such an appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
