Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. B. Lenihan)

The funding of these projects is not a matter for my Department. I understand that existing State funding is provided through the Department of Education and Science. Accordingly, I have referred the matter to my colleague the Minister for Education and Science for her consideration.
