Written Answers. - Dental Treatment of Children.
Limerick East): It is my intention to make regulations straight away extending eligibility for dental treatment to children up to their 14th birthday. This extension of eligibility will have effect as from the date of the regulations.
I will consider the possibility of extending eligibility up to age 16 years in 1996.
