110. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an Autism Unit in Killarney, County Kerry (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45390/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to advise the Deputy that the school to which he refers has been allocated a devolved grant to provide a two classroom ASD Unit with ancillary accommodation. The school authorities have been notified of this decision in a letter dated 4th October 2012.
My Department has since received a further application for additional funding. This application is currently being considered and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as this process has been completed.
