Question:139 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 224 of 23 February 2000, the reason a finishing course for unqualified art teachers, who had attempted to qualify through his Department's technical schools system, was not run by his Department in 1979 in view of the fact that a viable number of applicants meeting his Department's requirements had been received in 1979; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
