Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
547 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Science if the appointment of a classroom assistant will be sanctioned for a school (details supplied) in County Clare; and if so, when the appointment will be sanctioned. [22403/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI take it the Deputy is referring to a specific request for special needs assistant, SNA, support for a junior infant attending the school in question. This application does not meet the criteria for SNA support under the terms of my Department's circular 07/02.
The application will be reconsidered if additional information regarding the pupil's care support needs is received in my Department.
