My Department allocates resources to second level schools to cater for special needs pupils. Applications for such support are made to my Department by the relevant school authorities. Each case is considered on its merits and determined on the advice of the psychological service.
My Department recently received an application from the school authority concerned for extra resources in respect of the pupil referred to by the Deputy.
