The Deputy will be aware that the home tuition scheme provides funding to parents to provide education at home for children who, for a variety of reasons such as chronic illness, are unable to attend school. The scheme was extended in recent years to facilitate tuition for pupils awaiting a suitable educational placement. I wish to advise the Deputy that an application for home tuition for the child concerned is currently under consideration within my Department. A decision will be made on receipt of additional significant information which has been requested and which was not submitted with the original application.
