Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science (Mr. Haughey)

While the Further Education Section, which is the lead section of my Department in the area of lifelong learning as it relates to adults, operates in conjunction with its counterpart in Northern Ireland in certain activities, these activities did not form part of the Common Chapter.
