I propose to take Questions Nos. 305 and 309 together.
While I am aware that the question requesting reversal of cuts to funding in the school referred to by the Deputy has also been forwarded to the Department of Health, I wish to advise that my Department has not made cuts to funding. In fact my Department will be providing grant aid to the Board of Management to facilitate it in renting both premises referred to for the coming school year. My officials and the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) are in regular contact with this school and the Association and will continue to work with them on future provision in the county.
