Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 47:

In page 9, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:

"(15) Parents may, prior to the enrolment of a child in a school as a student, request that an assessment be carried out in order to ascertain whether or nor the child has any special educational needs and the principal of the school shall, in consultation with the parents and with the special educational needs organiser request a special educational needs organiser to arrange for such an assessment to be carried out, with the written permission and in partnership with the parents.".

Amendment put.
