Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I do not have an answer to the Deputy's specific question about the various pupil-teacher ratios on the website. I will have that clarified and will communicate directly with him.

The reality is that not all disadvantaged pupils are in DEIS schools and the majority are in non-DEIS schools. It has been expressed to me that in some cases parents would prefer not to have their child in a DEIS school, for a variety of reasons. I will clarify the point in regard to the website for the Deputy.
