Vol. 456 No. 6
104 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for Education if she will have arrangements made to have an aide assigned under the FÁS teamwork scheme to a person (details supplied) in County Cavan who is disabled; and if she will have arrangements made to have the equipment promised to this person on 15 November 1993, by her Department provided to him forthwith. [14293/95]
My Department is in consultation with the appropriate authorities with a view to having an aide provided for the person in question. It is hoped to have the matter resolved very shortly.
My Department has made provision for a scheme of grants towards the purchase of special equipment for use by pupils with a disability in second level schools. An application for assistance under this scheme has been received in respect of the pupil in question and a grant has been sanctioned.
The applicant's school has been advised to purchase the equipment and that the grant will issue on submission of proof of purchase.
