Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I can confirm for the Deputy that the pupil in question currently has access to five hours' resource teaching support per week and to a full-time special needs assistant or SNA support. Responsibility for putting these resources in place rests with the management authorities of the school in question.
