Vol. 573 No. 2

Written Answers. - Special Educational Needs.

Gerard Murphy

Ceist:

117 Mr. Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Science if an application for home tuition for a person (details supplied) in County Cork will be examined. [24672/03]

I recently informed the Deputy that this application had been referred to my Department's Inspectorate for consideration. The Inspectorate has now advised that, on the basis of the professional report submitted with the application, the needs of the child in question can best be met by the provision of speech and language therapy and occupational therapy. The provision of these therapies is a matter for the local health board and my Department will be conveying this information to the parents shortly.
