Vol. 518 No. 6
595 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Education and Science if funding arrangements have been agreed in relation to the Clondalkin higher education access project, which was established in 1997 and which has resulted in highly significant increases in the number of young people in this disadvantaged area moving into tertiary education. [12947/00]
My department has received a submission from the director of the Clondalkin higher education access project in which he seeks mainstream funding from my Department for the project. My Department at present part funds the project. I am considering this matter fully in the light of the submission made and having regard to the financial resources available to me this year for projects of this type and any other funding available.
I will communicate a decision to the director of the project as early as possible. I will also communicate with the Deputy.
