I thank Ms Lynch. It is my belief that we have many underprivileged children in non-DEIS schools. Sometimes there is a belief that it is just the DEIS schools that need supports. There is a mix of children in practically every school. Just because a child is not in a DEIS school does not mean that he or she does not need to have the extra supports. Ms Lynch and Dr. Redmond highlighted the value of the home school liaison system, which is key in trying to figure out where a family is at in terms of what they cannot provide for their child to ensure he or she has a good experience in school and to see what it can do in conjunction with local organisations, such as the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

I will call Senator Ruane.
