Question:

358 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding provision of a resource teacher on a one to one basis for a person (details supplied) in County Limerick. [33138/04]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

An application for 2.5 hours resource teaching support was received in my Department on 9 June 2004 for the pupil referred to by the Deputy. It is expected that the special educational needs of the pupil in question can be met from within the current resource and learning support teacher allocation available to the school. The school currently has access to shared learning support and resource teaching provision. This advice was conveyed to the school on 23 September 2004.
