Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Youth her views on the fact that the NCSE has ignored five children with additional needs who have been recommended for a placement in a special class simply because they are already in mainstream, despite the fact that the NCSE has been made aware of these children and received their reports; if she is aware that the NCSE informed her that only one child associated with a school (details supplied) was eligible for a class placement, despite five other children in mainstream requiring a class placement; if she will urgently review this matter and explain how the NCSE could ignore the needs of these children; if she will review the decision not to proceed with the ASD class at the school which she had already sanctioned; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
