Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

Departmental officials have commenced the initial stage of the review of the provision of Braille books and will meet ChildVision to discuss the matter this week. All potential options that are available will be examined to ensure that quality provision is in place for all children who need it and that delays in the delivery to students are avoided. A part of the review will examine options that may be available in the marketplace to provide the services required by our students. Currently, the Department is not aware of any other suppliers that are supplying this volume of Braille books, but the review will examine the availability of suppliers and, therefore, tendering will be examined as a potential option.
