Limerick East): The provision of speech therapy services in County Limerick is a matter for the Mid-Western Health Board. The board has indicated that the speech therapy service at the school in question was discontinued last September due to staff shortages. However, I understand that the board is currently making alternative arrangements for the provision of a service at the school.
