Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 258 and 259 together.
I can confirm to the Deputy that the relevant support services, including NEPS and the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) recently met with the parents in this case. All involved are working towards ensuring that the student can access a suitable placement as soon as possible.
I can also assure the Deputy that the NCSE will continue to be available to support this family throughout this process.
