I propose to take Questions Nos. 744 to 748, inclusive, together.
As the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENO) for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs. The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support. The information sought by the Deputy is not held in my Department and he may wish to liaise directly with the NCSE in the context of his enquiry, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
