Written Answers. - Special Educational Needs.

Michael D. Higgins

Ceist:

581 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will appoint a remedial teacher to Carrig national school, Birr, County Offaly, in view of the fact that for many years the board of management and parents association of this school have been making representations for this appointment, and in view of the fact that they have a strong case for a remedial teacher and have a number of pupils attending the schools who would benefit greatly from such an appointment. [9886/99]

The Deputy will know that my Department is currently making arrangements to extend the remedial teacher service to all primary schools which do not currently have access to the service.

This extension of the remedial service will take effect from September next and will include the school to which the Deputy refers.
