The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is, in the first instance, the primary body responsible for the matter the Deputy has raised. I have forwarded this issue to them for their attention and direct reply.
Deputies are also welcome to raise such queries with the NCSE directly through their dedicated Oireachtas query line at .
The NCSE advise that sufficient special education places have been created for this school year to meet the level of need known to them by the mid-February timeline under the new parents notification process.
