Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2026
830. Deputy Robert O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Education and Youth if a parent can still apply for July Provision as they missed the deadline for applications (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42226/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails of the 2026 Summer Programme were communicated by email to all schools on the 6th May 2026. All schools were given the opportunity to run a school-based programme for children with the most complex special educational needs and those at risk of educational disadvantage.
Where a school does not intend to run a school-based programme or there is no place on the programme for an eligible child, schools were invited to make an application for the home-based programme.
Officials from my department have confirmed that home-based application for the child referred to by the Deputy has been received. Both the child's parent and the school will be contacted again with confirmation of a place in due course.
