Question:166 Ms Cooper-Flynn asked the Minister for Education and Science when the resource hours recommended by his Department's educational psychologist will be granted to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [28048/03]
Written Answers. - Special Educational Needs.
I confirm that my Department received an application for resource teaching support for the pupil referred to by the Deputy. Applications for special educational needs supports received between 14 February 2003 and 31 August 2003 are currently being examined on the basis of supporting professional reports and in the context of resources already available at schools. The process involves an examination of each application and supporting documentation by a dedicated team of inspectors and psychologists.
The application from the school in question will be considered within this process and the school will be informed of the outcome as early as possible in the current school year.
