Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin): I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department is currently making arrangements to extend the home-school-community liaison service to all first and second level schools which have disadvantaged area status.

This extension of service will be effective from September next and will include the school to which the Deputy refers.

My Department will be in contact with the school in question shortly regarding the arrangements for its inclusion in the home-school-community liaison service.
