Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I have previously taken the opportunity to discuss this matter informally with my colleague, the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. This remains an issue which is important to both myself and Minister Martin and we have committed to engaging again in the near future on the matter.
