I propose to take Questions Nos. 361 and 362 together.

I confirm that my Department has received a submission from the school in question regarding the retention of existing special needs teaching posts. I also confirm that there has been no reduction in the current level of teaching supports at this school.

The submission will be considered as quickly as possible and my officials will be in contact with the school authorities as soon as this process has been completed.
