I wish to advise the Deputy that the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) operates a number of appeal processes in relation to the provision of resources to schools, such as for Special Needs Assistant support or for the provision of Special Education Teachers to schools.

As this question relates to the number of appeals received by the National Council for Special Education, and number of these appeals which led to an allocation of additional services to a school, I have referred this question to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply to the Deputy on this matter.
