Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 November 2004
451 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Science if further home tuition hours will be approved in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if a decision in this case will be expedited. [29937/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that, arising from an appeal, the level of home tuition approved for the child in question was recently raised from ten to 20 hours per week. That represents a very significant level of one-to-one support, which will continue to be made available to the child until a school placement commences. The school in which placement has been sought is due to obtain new accommodation in the near future, and I am advised that a place will be made available for the child in question at that stage.
