Question:119 Mr. M. McDowell asked the Minister for Education, in relation to St. Brigid's national school, Haddington Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, if her attention has been drawn to the request by the principal and management of that school for the appointment of a full-time remedial teacher in view of the fact that two-thirds of the girls attending the school come from disadvantaged backgrounds; if she will make such a full-time appointment; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that the present arrangement wherein the school shares a remedial teacher with a neighbouring boys national school, is unsatisfactory and wasteful; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
