Richard Bruton
Ceist:250 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the education needs of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 5 for whom no suitable place has been found in Ireland and who needs funding for his continued participation in Boston Higachi school; if he will make funding available for this purpose in view of the fact that other Irish children are already supported by health boards in this school; and, if funding will not be provided, the service that will be offered by his Department for him, including the location, the teaching programme, the back-up professional services and the earliest date on which this service can be made available based on the detailed assessment of the boy's autistic condition already made available to his Department.
