Carey asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will secure a suitable post primary school place for a student (details supplied) in Dublin 11 whose guardians have been unable to find a place for him since he finished in a special class in his local primary school in June 1999; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

I am aware of the case referred to by the Deputy. Officials from my Department are currently investigating the issue of placement for the pupil referred to by the Deputy. As an interim measure my Department has sanctioned nine hours home tuition for this pupil.
