I have two questions for the Minister. First, on the area-based rural initiative to tackle child poverty, will this be based in DEIS areas or will it be expanded to cater for other areas also? On the point as to whether an inclusive school system is operated, most schools in Ireland most of the time are inclusive and welcoming of all children. Obviously, the system has been tested, probably by parents and schools. Will the Minister outline incidents that give a flavour of where problems actually arise and what precisely does he intend to do about it?
