Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Special Educational Needs Provision: National Council for Special Education and Health Service Executive

1:45 pm

Mr. Pat Healy:

I can confirm, whatever of the past, the only thing that could delay the filling of these posts would be the inability to find staff to take them on a permanent basis. The filling of these posts has been approved, it has priority and it will proceed. There were no such additional posts available last year.
