Ms Breda Corr:

The concern is that schools might be asked to take on a child and in this regard would expect resources to be made available to them, because this is what the NCSE would like to do. It may be the case that the resources are not available. For example, the ceiling in regard to teacher numbers, SNA numbers and in respect of transport provision may have been reached. There is a fear that this would not automatically happen, as is often the case. Some schools will take on students but they may not necessarily get the resources they expect in the psychologists report or generally. They might expect to get an SNA or additional hours but may not get it immediately. It is important that resources where a child is imposed on a school resources follow. I hope that answers the Deputy's question.
