Question 519: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the situation in some primary and secondary level schools who cater for school children with visual impairment in the Tallaght and Rathfarnham area who are currently without a visiting teacher as no replacement has been found for the current visiting teacher who is out of work ill; and if she will assure those concerned parents that a replacement visiting teacher will be located as a matter of urgency.

An experienced visiting teacher for the visually impaired has been and is currently in place providing full cover for the permanent visiting teacher.

If there are any queries from parents, this replacement visiting teacher can be contacted directly by mobile phone, as she has been and is using the same phone number as the permanent visiting teacher whom she is replacing.
