Question:422 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will immediately appoint a resource teacher to a school (details supplied) in County Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4628/01]
Written Answers. - School Staffing.
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department has recently sanctioned part-time resource teaching support for two pupils with special needs attending the school in question.
I understand that my Department's inspectorate has reported that the remaining pupils in respect of whom resource teacher support was sought by the school did not meet the criteria for accessing such support as set out in my Department's Circular 8/99.
