As the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers, for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs. My officials have been in contact with the National Council for Special Education and I understand that the SENO has not received an application on behalf of the pupil in question. It is open to the school to contact the SENO directly in this regard.
All schools have the names and contact details of their local SENO. Parents may also contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
