A new special class has been approved for Garranbane National School in Waterford.
Local representatives met with teachers at the school recently to discuss the need for this new classroom for children with disabilities.
It's reported that in August of this year, the Department said there was no need for it at this time.
However, it's now been confirmed to Senator John Cummins that a recommendation to sanction the additional class has been made.
