Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 October 2004
122 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the difficulties encountered by a school (details supplied); if her Department officials will grant the necessary approval; the reasons for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24751/04]
View answerI can confirm that my Department received an application for an increase in special needs assistant, SNA, support for a pupil in the school in question. At present, my Department is considering the levels and deployment of SNA support in mainstream national schools generally and the application is being considered in this context. A decision on the application will be conveyed to the school as soon as this process has been completed.
