As the Deputy is aware, the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, is now operational. A specific function of the NCSE, through its network of local special educational needs organisers, SENOs, is to identify appropriate educational placements for all children with special educational needs. The SENO is a focal point of contact for parents-guardians and schools. I am advised by the NCSE that the local SENO has not received any correspondence in relation to the child in question and I have arranged for this child's details to be forwarded. Contact with the relevant SENO can be made by contacting the NCSE, Mill Street, Trim, County Meath, telephone number 046-948 6400 or by accessing the NCSE website at www.ncse.ie.
