Cecilia Keaveney
Question:192 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Education and Science, further to Parliamentary Question No. 106 of 12 November 2003, if his attention has been drawn to the research which shows that programmes in the arts and music develop reading skills and are very effective at pre-primary and primary level; and if he will make a statement on the fact that such programmes do not seem to be used alongside, or in place of, some of the solutions outlined in his answer to that question in view of the fact that prevention is better than cure.
