To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 295 of 3 June 2021, the length of time it will take to secure a school placement for a student (details supplied) for September 2021 with particular reference to the fact that many of the schools which could accommodate the student and their needs are already oversubscribed; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

In relation to the particular case raised by the Deputy, I understand that the relevant support services and agencies, including NEPS and the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) are aware of the case and are working towards ensuring that the student can be reintegrated into a school placement.

The Deputy will also be aware that the NCSE has responsibility for coordinating and advising on the education provision for children nationwide. NCSE continues to be available to provide support to this family.
