Amharc ar fhreagra150. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason no alternative schooling or form of education has been provided in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 who has been without any formal education since being expelled from school. [16022/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 149 and 150 together.
The Educational Welfare Service of the Child and Family Agency (EWS) is the statutory agency which can assist parents who are experiencing difficulty in securing a school place for their child. My officials understand from the EWS that they are liaising with the family in question and that they have outlined the educational options available to them.
