Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

My Department received an application for special needs assistant support for the pupil in question on 15 November 2004. My officials are liaising with the National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS, regarding the application. A decision will be conveyed to the school as soon as this process has been completed.
