The position relating to the matter of assistive technology grants for the school in question is as I outlined to the Deputy in my response to Parliamentary Question 665 on 9 June last. My Department has not received a recommendation for laptops for pupils with special educational needs attending the school in question. I have referred the matter to the National Council for Special Education to follow up with the local Special Educational Needs Organiser.
