Vol. 560 No. 1

Written Answers. - Computer Equipment.

John Cregan

Question:

387 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will reconsider the application for a laptop computer for a person (details supplied) in County Waterford to enable this person complete homework, reinforce school work and benefit greatly their educational development. [1411/03]

In December 2001, my Department issued a grant of €2,159 to the management of the school in question to facilitate the purchase of computer equipment for the use of the pupil referred to by the Deputy. The issue of such equipment being used by pupils in their home environment is a matter for the board of management of the school concerned.

I understand that the school in this case has given the pupil in question access to a computer software package to assist him with his homework.
