Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 January 2005
1070 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 213 of 24 November 2004, if the application for a person (details supplied) in County Clare has been examined; if so, when the person can attend the autistic unit at a national school in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1046/05]
View answerI am aware of the case referred to by the Deputy. An application for special needs assistant support for the person in question was received in my Department on 28 October 2004. My officials are liaising with my Department's inspectorate and 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.
