Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 November 2004
331 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Science the status of the application for resource hours and a special needs assistant for a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; when a decision will be made available to the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27824/04]
View answerMy Department received an application for resource teaching and special needs assistant, SNA, support for the pupil in question.
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department has sanctioned 12.5 hours SNA support for the pupil. The school was advised of this by telephone on 6 November and a letter of confirmation will follow within the coming days. The pupil did not qualify for resource teaching support and the basis for this decision will be clarified to the school in the letter referred to.
