I am not aware of the case referred to by the Deputy. The selection and enrolment of pupils in second level schools is, in the first instance, the responsibility of individual schools. In exceptional circumstances, my Department provides assistance to parents who encounter difficulty in securing a school placement. Inquiries are currently being made to ascertain the circumstances of this case and every effort will be made to find a suitable placement for the child as soon as possible.
