Question 593: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason funding has been taken from a special needs school (details supplied) in County Kildare; if research was carried out to determine the effects of such a reduction of funding; if so, the person by whom it was carried out; if an alternative means is to be determined to overcome this financial shortfall; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has not withdrawn funding from the centre in question. The centre continues to be funded in line with my Department's policy for such centres. The level of funding may change from year to year depending on a number of issues including the rate of staff turnover, experience of the staff and training courses to be funded.
