Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

My Department has not received an application for special support for the pupil referred to by the Deputy.

Any such request should be directed to the local inspector and the needs of the child in question will be fully investigated. Following consideration by the inspectorate, my Department will be in contact with the school authorities in relation to this matter.
