View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 451 and 459 together.
An application for resource teaching and special needs assistant support has been received in my Department from a school that is proposing to enrol the person concerned. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department has recently sanctioned three and a half hours resource teaching support and a full time special needs assistant. My officials have been in contact with the school authorities and it is expected that the person will be enrolled in the school shortly.
