I understand that the young person in question will be finishing his schooling next June. As the Deputy is aware, the Department of Health and Children/Health Service Executive assumes direct responsibility for young adults with special educational needs who are over 18 years. It is expected that special school authorities would consider post-school placement for school leavers in the period leading up to a student's graduation from the school. It is open to the family to liaise with the school authorities to discuss post-school placement options for the young person in question.
