I understand that the Deputy is referring to the availability of speech and language therapy services in schools. As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of therapy services, including speech therapy for people with disabilities, is a matter for the Health Services Executive (HSE) and funding is provided to the HSE for such purposes.
