Éamon Ó Cuív

Ceist:

206 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education the arrangements, if any, she intends to provide a classroom assistant to assist with the teaching of a pupil (details supplied) in County Galway with a serious language difficulty who is currently attending the one teacher Leam national school, Oughterard, County Galway. [18291/96]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

I am not in a position at present to allocate child care assistant posts to mainstream national schools.

I will continue to review needs in this area and consider how best they can be addressed within available resources. The needs of all schools, including Leam national school, will be considered within this context.
