Ms Caron McCaffrey:

If the Deputy bears with me, I have school closure figures here. I have figures for the first eight months of 2023 and across the system there were a total of 101 full-day closures. That is across our 13 institutions. It is of course higher than we would like it to be, but every effort is made to ensure our schools remain open so people can continue their education because we really believe as a service that if we can give people opportunities to engage in education it will certainly assist them in their rehabilitation when they leave our custody.
