PQ 433
433. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Youth if her attention has been drawn to a school (details supplied) that has not had an assigned NEPS psychologist for the past two years and that to date none have been assigned for the 2026/27 school year; will she comment on the fact that a major residential hub with 14 primary schools serving the Blackrock area has been completely without this service across multiple school years; will she agree that the structural freeze on educational assessments means that vulnerable children across every one of these schools are missing out and being left behind by the system.
