I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department's home tuition scheme provides a grant to parents to facilitate the provision of education at home for children who, for a number of reasons such as chronic illness, are unable to attend school.
I have made arrangements for a home tuition application form to be sent to the address in question for completion. My officials will consider the individual's eligibility for support under the home tuition scheme on receipt of the completed form. A home tuition application form is also available on my Department's website, www.education.ie.
