Question:

228 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science if an immediate assessment can be arranged for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and the help available for this person. [22299/02]

The National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS, will contact the parents of the student concerned before the end of this school term in order to make arrangements for an assessment of his needs. My Department allocates resource posts, special needs assistant posts and concessionary teaching hours in respect of second level students with special needs. Any allocation in respect of the student named by the Deputy will be determined on the basis of the assessment report from NEPS.
