Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 February 2026
344. Deputy Mark Wall asked the Minister for Education and Youth when a child in County Kildare (details supplied) will receive a special school place; if the child's need is known to the local SENO; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11149/26]
View answerThis government is fully committed to supporting students with special educational needs to fulfil their full potential and the Programme for Government makes a number of commitments to deliver on this objective.
The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is the statutory body responsible for the provision of special education and allocating supports for students with special educational needs.
As your query refers to an individual placement, I will arrange to have it referred 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 email address.
My department and the NCSE are committed to delivering an education system that is of the highest quality and where every child and young person feels valued and is actively supported and nurtured to reach their full potential.
