Vol. 547 No. 3

Written Answers. - Special Educational Needs.

Michael Creed

Question:

360 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in approving additional resource hours for a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [3126/02]

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department has recently sanctioned an allocation of resource teaching support for the pupil in question.

While every effort is made to process applications for special education services as speedily as possible, I am aware that some delays arise from time to time. This is due to the volume of applications for such support which are currently being processed by my Department.

My Department is currently reviewing its procedures with a view to expediting the processing of applications for special support services.
