asked the Minister for Education in view of the fact that computers are now an everyday part of modern living, if he will state the steps he is taking to provide computers in primary schools.

A pilot project on the use of computers in national schools, as referred to in the Programme for Action in Education, commenced in September 1984 and has recently been completed. The final report of the project will be available shortly, and I will make a statement on the matter after my Department has examined the report's findings and recommendations.
