151 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Education the plans, if any, she has to extend the early start programme to Saint Gabriel's girls and boys national school, Cowper Street, Dublin 7. [8737/96]
I have no plans at present to extend the Early Start pre-school programme to the schools mentioned by the Deputy.
The Early Start pre-school programme is currently focused on schools serving areas which have been identified as being particularly disadvantaged.
