As the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible, through its network of local Special Needs Organisers (SENOs), for allocating teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special educational needs and for identifying appropriate educational settings for individual children with special educational needs.

Officials in my Department have been in contact with the NCSE in relation to sourcing a school placement for this child. I understand that the local SENO is liaising with the local health authorities in this context.
