Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials in my Department are familiar with the matter referred to by the Deputy.
The determination by the Appeals Committee, formed under Section 29 of the Education Act, 1998, against a suspension, was issued to both the school and family on 15 April 2016. The determination upheld the parental appeal and the school was directed by my Department to contact the family to arrange for the child's return to school.
My Department has been in contact with the school and the parents since then in an effort to resolve the matter.
