Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I have taken note of Deputy Crowe's supplementary questions. Some of the queries raised are not fully covered in the documents before me. I will write to the Deputy about these. Since we had to find savings somewhere we reduced the financial support for teachers taking support courses in the Gaeltacht. The arrangement now is that they make the contribution for the courses. I am speaking from memory and this is subject to confirmation. I will get a letter to Deputy Crowe outlining the details of the other questions. It will be on the official record.
