Mr. Dalton Tattan:

Last year, 232 primary schools participated in July provision and this year 200 have registered. We will put a further call out for more that may wish to avail of it. We are not far off the numbers for a typical year.

On the DEIS side, we are up significantly. Before the crisis hit, 72 schools had registered to run the summer literacy and numeracy programme in primary schools. That number is now 210. The post-primary scheme is a new initiative - it was not run in previous years - and 34 schools have signed up to participate in it later in the summer.
