asked the Minister for Education if he has received a statement from the Society for the Rehabilitation of the Handicapped, containing a request for the provision of special educational facilities for handicapped children; and, if so, if he will state what proposals he has for the education of such children.

Mr. Byrne
I have received the statement to which the Deputy refers. The general question of the provision of special educational facilities for handicapped or educationally retarded children is at present under consideration. Pending full review of the matter, I am not in a position to indicate what arrangements are likely to be adopted.
