Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
481 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will guarantee that the TWT resource teacher and special needs assistant will be retained at a school (details supplied) in County Leitrim; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22085/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department sanctioned 2.5 hours resource teaching support for the pupil in question on 25 September 2002.
The Deputy may be aware that I introduced a new weighted model of resource teacher allocation for pupils with special educational needs who, like the pupil in question, fall within the high-incidence disability categories. It would be expected that the needs of the child in question can be met from within the current resource-learning support teaching allocation available to the school.
