Vol. 497 No. 5

Written Answers - Video Material.

Richard Bruton

Ceist:

340 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science the conditions under which video material may be circulated for use in schools by outside organisations; the vetting process, if any, for this material; and if alternative viewpoints can also be circulated in cases of issues of some controversy. [25547/98]

My Department has no direct role in the circulation of video material to schools by outside organisations.

My Department does, from time to time, include video material in its mailing to schools. Some of this has been directly prepared by or for my Department. In other cases external organisations submit material for possible circulation to schools. My Department examines such material and if considered relevant to the needs of schools may recommend that it be circulated.
