Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Tá mé ag díriú isteach ar an togra faoi leith atá ar siúl i rith an tsamhraidh agus go háirid chun ceist a chuir ar an Aire Stáit an bhfuil a fhios aici cé mhéad dalta nach mbeidh rochtain acu ar an scéim sin. Freisin, an bhfuil an tAire Stáit ar an eolas faoin gcleachtas atá ann go bhfuil ar tuismitheoirí íoc as an gclár chun spás a fháil? I am focusing on the number of children who will be left without a place on the summer programme and also on the practice - I am not sure how widespread it is - that seems to have arisen whereby parents have to pay to secure a place on the summer provision.
