Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 June 2004
118 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Science if an appointment of a resource teacher for a pupil (details supplied) in County Roscommon will be approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18929/04]
View answerI can confirm that my Department received an application for resource teaching support on 17 May 2004 for the child referred to by the Deputy. I understand that the child is due to commence school on 1 September 2004.
All applications for special educational resources received after 31 August 2003, including the application for the person in question are being considered by the National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS. In those cases, it is intended that the applicant schools will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible in advance of the commencement of the next school year.
