The Deputy will be aware that the home tuition scheme provides a grant to parents to facilitate the provision of education at home for children who, for a number of reasons such as chronic illness, are unable to attend school. The appeal referred to by the Deputy is currently being considered by my Department and a decision will issue to the family shortly.
