Vol. 574 No. 3
161 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in regard to an application for a resource teacher for a person (details supplied) in County Galway who attends Creagh national school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26939/03]
My Department has received an application for resource teaching support for the pupil referred to by the Deputy.
All applications for special educational needs supports received between 14 February 2003 and 31 August 2003 are being examined on the basis of the supporting professional reports and in the context of resources already available at the school. The process involves an examination of each application and supporting documentation by a dedicated team of inspectors and psychologists. The application from the school in question will be considered as part of this process and the school will be informed of the outcome as early as possible in the current school year.
