Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

An application has been received by my Department for the allocation of resource teaching support for the child in question.

My Department's inspectorate is currently considering this application and is expected to report shortly. Once the inspectorate has reported, my Department will be in contact with the school authorities in relation to the matter.
