Ms Bernie McNally:

As expressed by the Minister regularly, we are extremely grateful to all the schools that embraced the community coming in and did so with a sense of urgency. We may be able to get a report for the Deputy on what resources have gone into the area, if that would help. Whether the schools have DEIS status or not, we did put in 2,000 teachers of English as an additional language over recent years. A significant number of additional teachers have gone in to reflect the number of additional pupils. Teacher numbers in the schools would have increased, or, if a school was about to decrease numbers, it would have retained teachers. There are additional special education teachers and SNAs. Obviously, capitation then followed. In some instances, schools were able to access support from the planning and building unit for extra accommodation. NEPS has been available. We put regional teams into the ETBs and they worked with local schools. We do acknowledge what the schools have delivered and we will get the Deputy a report, if that would be helpful.
