I propose to take Questions Nos. 240 and 257 together.

My Department has no record of having received an application for home tuition for the pupil in question. Any application received will be considered. Application forms are available from my Department's special education section, Cornamaddy, Athlone, County Westmeath.

My Department does not provide grant assistance towards the cost of converting private accommodation for educational purposes. The officials in my Department's special education section will be happy to discuss the matter of special education provision for the child in question should the family wish to make contact directly.
