The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) has advised my Department that the special educational needs of the child in question were considered by the Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENO). The child's needs fall to be catered for from within the school's general allocation model of teaching resources rather than through the provision of additional teaching hours. I am informed by the NCSE that the local SENO will make arrangements to meet the parents shortly to discuss the child's special educational needs.
