Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 151 and 152 together.

The total 1990 allocation for tech nological aids was used for the purchase of filmstrips series for Cúrsaí Comhrá Gaeilge which are in use in primary schools.

Proposals for spending the allocation of £72,000 for 1991 are still under con sideration.
