Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

A Special Needs Unit (SNU) forms part of the brief for the school in Donabate to which the Deputy refers. With regard to the schools in Swords there are no plans to provide SNUs as there is sufficient SNU provision in the Swords area.
