Mr. John Haran:

In our case, no. I say that because all the parents who apply to our school know that we are a school for children with a mild general learning disability. So when parents ring me and say they are thinking about sending their child to the school, I tell them that the first thing we need is an educational and psychological report from an educational psychologist and that the child needs to have an IQ of between 50 and 69. If it is below 50 then that is the moderate to severe and profound range so means attending the Little Angels School, which is the other special school in Letterkenny. In my experience a SENO has never refused an application to our school because it would never get that far, if the Deputy understands?
