Mr. John Kinnane:

That is a fair point. If we note the section covering the Department of Education in the REV, one of the metrics the Department of Education has selected is the transition rates from post-primary to higher education and separating out the differences between the transitions rates from schools participating in the Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools, DEIS, programme and non-DEIS schools. It is something of which the education sector is aware. Where metrics are available, we will certainly work with the Departments on that. Initially, on equality budgeting, we started off with one dimension and we have broadened it out to include issues such as socioeconomic disadvantage.
