Written Answers. - Educational Support Project.

Tony Gregory

Ceist:

86 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health if he has received a proposal for a family and child educational support project for 7-12 year olds in St. James's Street Christian Brothers' School and Mater Dei, Basin Lane, Dublin 8; his response to the proposal and the assistance, financial or otherwise his Department can give to implement this badly needed support project in an area blighted by disadvantage, drugs and other social problems. [9365/95]

Minister for Health (Mr. Noonan,

Limerick East): I have not received any proposal along the lines described in the question. I understand, however, from the Eastern Health Board that a proposal to establish such a project in the schools in question is being examined by the Department of Education.
