Róisín Shortall
Ceist:369 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 409 of 26 June 2001, his attention has been drawn to the fact that despite the measures outlined in his reply, textbooks currently on sale for the 2002 academic year have amounts in pounds rather than euro; the specific action he will take to deal with the extra costs for parents who do not qualify under the grant scheme for needy pupils and who may have to replace these books in 2002; his Department's position in respect of the use of these books in future years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
