Jackie Healy-Rae

Question:

182 Mr. Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the lack of support experienced by Scoil an Fheirtéaraigh, Baile An Fheirtéaraigh, Trá Lí, Contae Chiarraí, and the special needs children for psychological services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12320/02]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

Responsibility for the provision of health related support services to children with special needs in the Kerry region rests with the Southern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
