Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 November 2025
252. Deputy Charles Ward asked the Minister for Education and Youth the reason a school (details supplied) which has four children with additional needs including autism who started in September 2025 will not be given any additional SNA support this year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerEnabling children with special educational needs to receive an appropriate education is a priority for this Government. It is also a key priority for me, my department and for the National Council for Special Education (NCSE).
The NCSE is, in the first instance, the primary body responsible for the matter the Deputy has raised. I will arrange for your query to be forwarded to the NCSE 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 [oireachtasqueries@ncse.ie].
