Seán Haughey
Question:274 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the gradual withdrawal of FÁS services is causing serious problems for a primary school (details supplied) in Dublin 5, in view of the fact that they will lose seven FÁS workers altogether, costing approximately ?40,000 per annum; if the transitional arrangements put in place by him can benefit this school at this stage; if he will examine the case of the school further on the basis that it has 99 pupils, is in a disadvantaged area and has a big building to maintain as well as large grounds; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
