Ceist:199 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Education the immediate steps, if any, she will take to address the teaching needs of a pupil (details supplied) in County Louth who is unable to obtain a place in the local special school in view of the fact that this school is no longer taking pupils despite the fact that this particular pupil continues to attend his local primary school without the benefit of the recommended resource teacher who would provide him with an opportunity of continuing at his local primary school which is his preferred option; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
