88 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Health the number of language therapists available to primary schools in Dublin city and generally in Ireland; if, in respect of those available in Dublin city, he will give the breakdown between the northside and southside of the city; the financial supports, if any, which are available to families in seeking tutoring and support for children with language difficulties; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. I am now arranging to have this information collated and I will communicate further with the Deputy in due course.
