Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

Deputy Kenny referred earlier to the case of Mrs. Murphy and her son, Luka. I raised this matter on three occasions on the Adjournment and I was not able to obtain answers. We cannot obtain an indication from the Departments of Education and Science and Health and Children regarding when this little boy can access the education and services to which he is entitled. The Taoiseach can come before the House and impugn the reputation of the board of management of Castleknock Educate Together national school but there is no recourse, via the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, to discover what has occurred within the confines of Government.
