Special Educational Needs. (30 Jan 2008)

Andrew Doyle: The Ó Cuanacháins had a justifiable and legitimate reason for challenging the Department of Education and Science's decision not to provide ABA teaching to their child purely because they were geographically at a loss. It seems odd that 12 ABA schools are funded by the Department, including one in the Minister's constituency for which she actively lobbied.

Special Educational Needs. (30 Jan 2008)

Andrew Doyle: They are mentioned in the national development plan as going from pilot to permanent status. The Ó Cuanacháins had a legitimate right to challenge the Department of Education and Science on that fact alone. Before that, the courts had established that the State had denied Seán Ó Cuanacháin his right to an education and damaged his educational prospects. ABA has the best effect at an...

Andrew Doyle: Question 292: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the published prioritisation criteria for large scale capital funding projects for schools; the reason a school (details supplied) in County Wicklow has not been assigned band one rating in view of the fact that the school had an approval for an extension six years ago which has never happened and the fact that the classroom...

Schools Building Projects. (18 Dec 2007)

Andrew Doyle: The letter of 10 May from an official in the planning section in the Department of Education and Science only gave false hope after many years of campaigning for additional classrooms. The school had been approved for a smaller extension in 2001 but was then told that it required, and would be given, 16 mainstream classrooms as well as ancillary accommodation. However, the letter neglected...
