Vol. 571 No. 1
529 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Longford has been refused special needs assistance; if he will review the situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20153/03]
This case has been reviewed further by national educational psychological service and the outcome of the review is that the original recommendation of three and a half hours resource teaching support per week remains unchanged. This allocation is based on the professional documentation submitted with the application which outlined the child's level of disability. This documentation did not describe care or safety needs to support the application for special needs assistant support.
