Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

I implore him to complete the review at the earliest opportunity to ensure the maximum support is provided to these schools. There is concern that the Minister's proposals will spread the 428 legacy posts across the mainstream system. Teachers fear they will be taken from DEIS schools and employed elsewhere. Is the Minister indicating that posts will still be cut at these schools or will he await the completion of the review? Will he be contacting principals and how will the review be carried out?
