I understand the Deputy is referring to the establishment of a new school of podiatry. In my reply to the question to which the Deputy referred, I indicated that officials from this Department had met with the Department of Education and Science on two occasions and that my Department was awaiting a response from the Health Service Executive, HSE, regarding the manner in which clinical training in podiatry could best be facilitated. I understand that the HSE is finalising its approach and will revert shortly to my Department in that regard.
