501. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Education when special schools will be given the same supports as mainstream schools in terms of pupils who come to the school with English as a second language in terms of additional hours; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22858/22]
View answerI can assure the Deputy that my Department will also provide supports to special schools in line with the agreed EAL allocation in circumstances where there is a recognised level of need.
