Mary White (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party)

The Department is interested in finding new ways of supporting schools, parents and children in the new digital economy. In my own constituency of Carlow-Kilkenny, the Kilkenny Outreach Centre is doing tremendous work with mobile telephone applications for children. There is no question that the website to which the Deputy referred enjoys a significant level of traffic and anything that eases the burden on parents is to be welcomed. As a former academic bookseller, I am up to speed in this area.
