My officials have recently been in contact with the school in question concerning the matter referred to by the Deputy. The National Council for Special Education, NCSE, which became operational on 1 January 2005, now processes applications for special educational needs, SEN, supports. The NCSE has outlined this process in its circular 01/05 which issued to all primary schools. Currently, 71 special education needs organisers, SENOs, have been recruited throughout the country and will be a focal point of contact for schools and parents. The school has been advised to liaise with the local SENO concerning the special educational needs of the person referred to by the Deputy.
