Special Educational Needs
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-23
============================================================

Pauline Tully (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

Will the Minister of State provide an update on the parts of the country where there is an inadequate number of spaces in special classes and special schools? Is the Department or the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, aware of how many children do not have a place for next September in these locations? What actions do the Department and the NCSE intend to take on foot of this? Does the Minister of State plan to use her powers under section 37A or any other legislation?
