The issue raised by the Deputy will be considered by my Department in the context of existing and future programmes to tackle educational disadvantage.

It is not possible at this stage to say if or when funding may become available for the project in question. Officials of my Department have been involved at various stages in the development of the initiative and these contacts will continue.
