That will be part of the review being carried out. To echo the words of Deputy Ó Cathasaigh, I am hearing the very same thing from the smaller book suppliers as well. Parents would have come in during the summer months but now the smaller suppliers are being totally squeezed out. The bigger book companies are now taking the large majority of the market because of what is happening. Perhaps in some DEIS school there would have been free books either way but it is definitely a big issue in other primary schools - I have heard it.
