Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I again thank the Senator. As I am sure he is aware, a large capital budget has been allocated for school building next year. He will not wish to displace other projects that are ahead of the projects to which he referred today in an attempt to move them forward. As for the last item he mentioned, he probably is aware that applications can be made for grants in respect of mobility access for students with special needs and I am involved with such cases in my constituency. While major economic constraints obviously exist at present, in general I have found the departmental officials to be extremely helpful in such circumstances. I certainly will bring the matters raised by the Senator to the Minister's attention.
