National Drugs Strategy 2001-2008: Statements.

 

Even though I am aware he will not have the information to hand, I want to raise with the Minister of State the issue of a secondary school in my area. It was to be provided with a sports centre extension through the Department of Education and Science which was to be co-funded by the local drugs task force. It has now been put on hold as a result of the cutbacks in the Department. These projects should be given priority. While all projects are important, if a school was to be provided with facilities under the drugs task force strategy, it should not be put on the long finger. I will speak to the Minister of State on the matter on another occasion.
