Ruairí Quinn
Question:299 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a special school (details supplied) in Dublin 4 has been without a permanent principal teacher for the past seven months, that the school is proposing to discontinue school meals for children with special needs without consultation with the parents association and that this may have added to the difficulty in attracting applications including any from the current staff; if the schools inspectorate will make services available to the board of management; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
