I asked my Department's National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) to look into this case. I understand from the enquiries made by NEPS that the first name of the child in question is Mícheál. A NEPS psychologist has discussed with the school their areas of concern and outlined some strategies for the school and parents to implement over the coming three months in order to address those concerns.

I also understand that the NEPS psychologist has advised the school to review Mícheál's progress at the end of September and to consult with NEPS regarding further intervention or assessment should that be considered necessary at that stage.
