I met Ms Katherine Zappone, the project leader of the childhood development initiative in Tallaght earlier this year. The regional office of my Department in Tallaght also participated in the consultative group of regional agencies which provided advice and information in respect of the development of the project.

This initiative will be considered by my Department in the context of existing and future programmes to tackle educational disadvantage.
