Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that an application for five hours per week resource teaching support for the pupil referred to by the Deputy has been reviewed by my Department. The application in question did not meet the criteria for resource teaching hours as per my Department's circulars. The school authorities were notified accordingly. The application will be reconsidered if additional information in relation to the pupil's teaching needs is received in my Department.
