The National Educational Welfare Board is aware of the circumstances referred to by the Deputy and is currently working with the family and with schools in the area to secure school places for the children in question. The family have been advised regarding their entitlement to appeal a decision of suspension for more than 20 days in a school year to the Secretary General of my Department, under section 29 of the Education Act 1998. However, to date, no such appeal has been received in my Department.
