In the details supplied with the question, the Deputy has provided what appears to be a home address. The Department of Health and Children is not aware of any request which has been made for the provision of support therapies at the address concerned. The Department is, however, aware of a request which has been made for the provision of support therapies for a unit in a secondary school in County Kildare. The consultation procedure in regard to this process has not yet been completed and this issue is the subject of continued discussions between the Department, the Department of Education and Science and the Health Service Executive.
