asked the Minister for Education the amount of State support which will be given to special programmes for the education of the children of travelling people in 1987 as compared with 1986.
Written Answers. - Traveller Children's Education.

It is not proposed to reduce State support for special educational facilities for traveller children at pre-school and primary school level.
At second level, the funds allocated to vocational education committees are not broken down between individual programmes. The amount to be spent on a particular programme in 1987 will depend on decisions to be made by committees in the light of priorities and available resources.
