School Enrolments.

Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)
Why is the Minister not prepared to publish the audit and release the information into the public domain? Segregation will always thrive where there is a lack of information, and there is a lack of information in this area. This does not concern only newcomers, although it is an important issue for new communities, but also indigenous communities, Travellers and children with learning difficulties. It is fundamentally important in the context of the debate on the management of schools, enrolment and so forth that all information is put into the public domain so that we can deal with this issue based on the information available rather than in a void as at present.
