I can confirm that an application for resource teaching support was received for the pupil referred to by the Deputy.

A response issued to the school recently indicating that, based on the documentation submitted, the pupil did not meet the criteria outlined in Department circulars for such support. The application will be reconsidered if additional information in relation to the pupil's special educational needs is received in my Department.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. Arrangements are being made to have the available information compiled and forwarded to the Deputy.
