Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2014
450. Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if her attention has been drawn to correspondence sent to her by a person (details supplied) regarding the home tuition scheme dated 6 October 2014; her plans to respond to this correspondence; her views that the home tuition scheme was operated in a consistent and equitable manner; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46056/14]
View answerThe correspondence in question has been brought to my attention and I have issued a response to it. I have also requested my officials to respond directly in detail on some of the issues raised in the letter and subsequent related e-mail; I am advised that this response will issue presently.
It is, in my view, reasonable to conclude that the Department has maintained a consistent position in relation to the development of group arrangements and direct payment arrangements for home tuition and that the scheme is operated in a consistent and equitable manner.
