Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

The purpose of this funding is to improve broadband access by 2012 and ensure teachers are trained to deliver the technology in an appropriate manner. I suspect the school my children attend is far ahead of other schools in terms of its adoption and use of technology. Some schools have been proactive and have pressed ahead, which is good. If schools have established a minimum standard, they can recoup money for the investment they have made.
