The issue of additional resources for the Visiting Teacher service for the Visually Impaired will be considered in the context of the overall funding being made available to my Department for 2009. Referral agencies, schools and parents of pre-school children with visual impairment currently are being informed by Visiting Teacher management of an interim telephone advisory service that is now being provided while alternative arrangements for a Visiting Teacher presence in Co. Mayo, are being explored.
