Question:

333 Mr. O'Connor asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will report on the progress following the meeting between his Minister of State and a delegation from Ard Mhuire National School, Belgard and St. Mark's National School, Springfield, both in Tallaght, Dublin 24 in respect of their speech and language classes; if his attention has been drawn to their concerns; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6343/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O'Malley)

As the Deputy attended the meeting in question, last Wednesday, he will recall that the assistant chief executive officer of the East Coast Area Health Board made a commitment to revert to the schools in question within two weeks. I regret, at this early stage, that I am unable to comment further.
