Vol. 483 No. 5
33 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the meetings, if any, she has had with the Department of Education and Science to discuss the position of arts education; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20774/97]
While the programme for Government, An Action Programme for the Millennium, contains a commitment to modify the school curriculum to place more emphasis on cultural and artistic activities, the Deputy will appreciate that the question of bringing forward amendments to the current school curriculum to meet this commitment is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Education and Science.
