An application for four hours resource teaching support was received by my Department for the pupil referred to by the Deputy. As the National Council for Special Education has taken over responsibility for such matters with effect from 1 January 2005, the application has been referred to the council. My officials have been informed by the council that the matter has been referred to the local special education needs organiser who will make direct contact with the school authorities regarding the matter.
