Written Answers. - County Roscommon Special School Staffing.

John Connor

Ceist:

304 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for Education the reason for the delay in having a speech therapist and child care assistant appointed to St. Michael's Special School, Castlerea, County Roscommon, where the school enrolment justifies the making of such appointments.

Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)

The post of child-care assistant in the school in question is subject to the embargo on the filling of vacancies in the public service.

The appointment of a speech therapist is a matter for the Department of Health.
