I have made inquiries in the matter and can inform him that the child, the subject of the Deputy’s question, has in the past month been the subject of discussions between school authorities and the assigned NEPS psychologist.  Following on from these discussions I understand that a support plan is being instituted by the school in relation to his particular needs which will be subject to review in due course. Should the parents of the child have specific concerns in this regard I would advise that they raise them, in the first instance, with the Principal of the school concerned, with a view to his/her raising these concerns with the NEPS psychologist.
