As the Deputy is aware, the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, which was established recently, and which has been operational since 1 January 2005, is responsible for processing applications for special educational needs' supports. My officials have been advised by the NCSE that the matter has been referred to the local special educational needs organiser, SENO, for attention. I understand that the SENO will make direct contact with the school authorities to discuss the matter.
