The National Council for Special Education has responsibility, through its network of Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), for the establishment of special education facilities and for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs.

My Department has advised the parent of the pupil referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, to liaise, in the first instance, with the local SENO.

The provision of school transport will be considered upon receipt of the SENO's report.
