In relation to the particular patient query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to him directly.

With regard to the query raised in relation to the school’s board of governance, I have taken this to refer to the school's Board of Management. I have been advised by the Department of Education and Skills that board members do not receive payment for their work as members of Boards of Management. I understand that details of currently serving Boards of Management can be obtained directly from individual schools.

The provision of health related therapy supports to children attending the school in question is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, I have arranged for this part of the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
