59 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the drawing up of a White Paper on early education; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12782/99]
Work on a White Paper on early childhood education is under way in my Department. This follows the national forum for early childhood education, which I hosted last year, and which provided an opportunity for all those involved in the area of early childhood education to come together and to share their views on future policy in the area.
