The National Council for Special Education (NCSE), through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), is responsible for processing applications from primary and post primary schools for special educational needs supports, including the establishment of special classes in various geographical areas as required. The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support.

I have therefore arranged for the Deputy's question relating to provision at primary and post primary level in County Carlow to be forwarded to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply. Details of all approved classes may also be viewed on the NCSE website www.ncse.ie.
