As previously advised, Officials from my Department, the National Council for Special Education and the Health Service Executive met with members of the Board of Management of the school in June 2006 in order to progress the opening of the unit.

The NCSE is continuing to liaise with the school on an ongoing basis in order to progress the situation.
