As the Deputy may be aware, the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, is now in place and, through its network of locally based special educational needs organisers, SENOs, it is responsible for addressing the needs of children with special educational needs, including the identification of suitable school placements.
My officials have referred this matter to the NCSE and asked that the matter be dealt with as a matter of priority. In the circumstances I understand that a SENO will make contact with this family in the very near future.
