Vol. 524 No. 5

Written Answers. - Special Educational Needs.

Seán Ryan

Question:

510 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a child (details supplied) in County Dublin, who is attending Pope John Paul national school, Malahide, County Dublin, is unable to secure entry to a suitable alternative school in the area which has a class to facilitate students with general learning difficulties which would be beneficial to his education; and the way in which his Department will facilitate the needs of this child. [23204/00]

I am aware of the case to which the Deputy refers. The child in question is on the caseload of the resource teacher attached to the school which he currently attends.

I have asked my Department's inspectorate to investigate the child's needs with a view to ensuring that suitable educational provision is made available to the child in question.
