Ceist:404 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Science if a computer is to be supplied to a school (details supplied) in County Westmeath which has already been approved for additional resource teaching. [28678/00]
Written Answers. - School Equipment.
My Department has no record of an application for computer equipment from the school referred to by the Deputy.
Funding allocations for the purchase of computers and other equipment to assist children with special needs are made on the basis of the assessed needs of the individual pupil.
My Department has been in touch with the school and has invited the school authorities to submit an application for the equipment in question. Once this application is received, a decision will be made on the matter.
