Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is currently considering an application for special needs assistant support for the pupil in question and my officials are liaising with my Department's inspectorate in this regard. The application will be considered in the context of the pupil's care needs and the deployment of the existing level of SNA support available in the school. I understand that the school currently has the services of three SNAs. A decision will be conveyed to the school authorities as quickly as possible.
