121 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Education the reason pre-school funding has not been sanctioned for a pre-school playgroup (details supplied) in County Mayo.
The Programme for a Partnership Government contains proposals regarding pre-school education in disadvantaged areas. These proposals are under consideration in my Department at present.
Until such time as full consideration has been given to this proposal I would not consider it appropriate to fund any individual pre-school playgroup projects.
