Ceist:

465 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Education and Science if funding will be made available to a youth project which is recognised by Comhairle le Leas Óige for computer and internet equipment from the recently announced £250 million fund of Exchequer money for investment in technology education; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16038/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

It is the intention that projects in the non-formal education area will be eligible to benefit under the scheme in question. In this context all applications, including that referred to by the Deputy, will be considered on merit.
