Richard Bruton
Ceist:194 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that classes which have been established to provide education for children with special needs are frequently operating without an adequate standard of services from speech therapists and from occupational therapists; his views on whether it is unsatisfactory for schools to be reliant on a service from health boards which have other pressures in relation to the delivery of these services; if he will consider establishing a dedicated corps of therapists who would provide support in a context of educational development; and if he will make a statement in relation to services for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 5.
