Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1424. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a decision will be made pertaining to an application for home tuition 2014-15 (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34606/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware the purpose of the Home Tuition Scheme is to provide a compensatory educational service for children who, for a number of reasons such as chronic illness, are unable to attend school. The scheme also provides a compensatory educational service for children with special educational needs seeking an educational placement. Provision is also made for early educational intervention for children with autism.
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that home tuition has been approved for the child in question.
