As the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers, for the establishment of special classes for autism and for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs.

I have arranged for the details requested by the Deputy to be forwarded to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply.
