Ceist:49 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Education if he will consider the appointment of a suitably qualified school welfare officer in each vocational education committee area so that children and families requiring assistance can be identified at an early stage and that such a school welfare officer would co-ordinate the statutory and voluntary support services so that such pupils would be given every support in attaining their full potential in a family as well as in a school context.
