Vol. 421 No. 5

Written Answers. - Application for Hearing Aid.

Austin Deasy

Question:

110 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Education if he will approve the issue of one of his Department's special hearing aids to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford, in view of the fact that the person has the support of his Department's inspector in this regard.

Minister for Education (Mr. S. Brennan)

The child in question received a radio aid in 1986 from the National Rehabilitation Board and inquiries made by my Department suggest that this continues to work satisfactorily.

In the circumstances I am sure the Deputy will appreciate that the sanctioning of an additional radio aid does not arise.
