Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

I am aware of the school and of the situation. The Minister of State, Deputy Moynihan and I meet the NCSE weekly and obviously where issues arise, we want to work with it to make sure they can be addressed as quickly as possible.

Where schools have been designated or places provided but they have not come onstream yet, we are working closely with the school and parents to make sure there is a provision of education being made for the children. The overall objective is that they are in the classroom in the school and that that is allocated to them. I will engage further with the Deputy and we will make sure we are continuing to engage with the school and parents.
