Vol. 512 No. 4
153 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of adult asylum seekers or economic refugees who do not speak English as their first language; and the number for whom adult education in English is being provided. [26430/99]
I regret to inform the Deputy that complete statistics on the number of adult asylum seekers or economic refugees who do not speak English as their first language are not available.
I will, however, arrange for officials of my Department to furnish the requisite information to the Deputy as soon as possible.
