192 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Education if any decision was taken to discontinue financial assistance for Irish publications in the period 1986 to 1988; and if his Department had any discussions with school book publishing companies in relation to this matter.
My Department have provided funding for Irish publications during the period 1986 to 1988 as already made known to the Deputy in reply to his question of 5 November 1991. No decision was taken to discontinue financial assistance for such publications.
My Department have held discussions with school book publishing companies in regard to funding and other relevant matters and continues to do so.
