Social Welfare Benefits: Motion.

 

We are also desperately short of child psychologists in many areas where they would be helpful – the Minister's Department, the Department of Health and Children and the Department of Education and Science. I urge the Minister for Health and Children to reverse the decision to cancel the courses in clinical psychology in both Trinity College and University College Dublin. Because of that cancellation we will not be producing one new clinical psychologist before 2005 and we are short 50% of our requirement now. Trying to recruit from abroad has not proved satisfactory.
