As the Deputy may be aware, 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 from primary and post primary schools through its network of Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs). The SENO is also a focal point of contact for parents and schools.

All schools have contact details of their local SENO. It is also open to the family to contact the SENO to discuss their child's special educational needs. Contact details may be accessed on the NCSE's website www.ncse.ie. or by telephoning 046 9486400.
