Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department has been advised by the school referred to that it is withdrawing its application for the provision of additional accommodation for the establishment of a National Council for Special Education (NCSE) approved Early Intervention Unit (EIU). 

My Department understands, however, that the school concerned are proposing to apply for accommodation to facilitate the establishment of a NSCE approved special needs class. My Department will be in further contact with the school concerned once this application is received.
