The Minister said the review process will include the input of boards of management and local people. In that case, why did boards of management and school staffs not receive notification of the review. No school was written to or asked for input. They learned of the review through the Department's website. I know of one school that would have missed the deadline for its submission were it not for the involvement of a teacher in the Irish National Teachers' Organisation. Why did the Department not write to each school that was concerned in the review process? This should have happened.
