Phil Hogan
Ceist:253 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Education if the 1990 grant allocation for adult literacy schemes will be increased in the 1991 allocation to vocational education committees; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 64 and 253 together. I am very pleased to be able to double the allocation for the adult literacy and community education scheme as a special gesture to Literacy Year 1990.
