The Deputy will be aware that the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) has been operational since 1st January 2005 and is responsible for processing applications for special educational needs supports. I understand that the pupil referred to by the Deputy is in receipt of 5 hours resource teaching support and 12.5 SNA (Special needs Assistant) hours per week. The recommended hours have been sanctioned by my Department and a letter to this effect issued to the school on 12th September 2007.
