Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Senator. He may be assured I will discuss this matter with the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Dempsey. We all received a circular letter this week from the voluntary secondary schools detailing concerns about this issue. The problem is being addressed and we will do our utmost to ensure that, in so far as available resources permit, adequate resources are provided to this area.

The Seanad adjourned at 7.55 p.m. until 10.30 a.m. on Thursday, 27 November 2003.
