Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The enrolment of pupils is a matter in the first instance for schools, parents and guardians. Where a pupil enrols in a post-primary school and requires additional resources to cater for his/her special educational needs, it is open to the school authority concerned to apply for these additional resources to my Department. Any such application will be considered in full.
