Ceist:

109. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 158 of 16 April 2019, when a child (details supplied) will be accommodated with a special needs school place to meet the child's ongoing educational requirements in view of the fact that the primary school will no longer facilitate the child as the child has reached 12 years of age; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

I understand from my officials that a placement has been sourced for September 2019 for the child in question.

The local Special Education Needs Organiser (SENO) has been in contact with the parent and remains available to provide advice and/or assistance with regard to special education supports for the child.
