The board of management of the school in question have notified my Department that there are 16 pupils enrolled in the two special classes for children with language and learning impairment and that eight applications have been received for enrolment in the current school year, three of which have been selected to fill vacancies that will arise shortly.
In relation to the remaining five applications my Department are currently investigating the case for allowing the establishment of an additional class.
