Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2012
253 Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be granted a July provision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29590/12]
View answerThe July Education Programme is available to all special schools and mainstream primary schools with special classes catering for children with autism who choose to extend their education services through the month of July. My Department also provides for a July Programme for pupils with a severe/profound general learning disability. Where school based provision is not feasible, home based provision may be grant aided. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that funding under the Home Based July Programme has been approved for the child in question by my Department. The parents have been notified accordingly.
