  277. Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for Education and Science when a personal assistant will be provided for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo to enable them to attend playschool and in time to attend primary school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4528/04]

  Mr. N. Dempsey: I advise the Deputy that the provision of a personal assistant to enable the child in question attend a pre-school is a matter for the relevant health board. I can confirm that the child concerned is receiving support from my Department's visiting teacher service.
