The Early Start Programme which was launched in 1994-95 is a targeted intervention for pre-school children at risk of educational disadvantage. Early Start units are located in Primary Schools. Although my Department is supporting Early Start units in Finglas, they are not located in St. Kevin's PS in Finglas West. If the Deputy could forward the roll number of the school or further information on the Early Start unit he is inquiring about, I will have further inquiries made.
