============================================================

Thomas Byrne (FF), Meath East

I thank the Senator. I will say two things. The money has been increased. This should help more children access the technology, and the review will have some impact.
On the particular case raised by the Senator, I am very happy to take it up within the Department with the Secretary General, and let her know the position in this regard, namely, that the child cannot even ask for this because of the situation that obtains in the Senator's area. I will certainly follow this up.
