116 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the need for an increase in the number of school psychologists in Counties Monaghan and Cavan; when she proposes to make these appointments; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14472/95]
During the current year, 1995, ten additional psychologists have been recruited by my Department in order to improve access to psychological services in schools. In assigning these additional psychologists to schools priority has been given to primary schools serving disadvantaged areas. In any future development, the needs of schools, and of children, in particular areas, including Counties Monaghan and Cavan, will be borne in mind.
