Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

I will write to the Minister tomorrow with the details of the three specific schools. These are schools that appreciate that the DEIS programme and its forerunner have been significantly beneficial to children, families and the wider community. They are extremely disappointed that the most recent correspondence from the Department flies in the face of what they understood from the Minister's communications and decisions towards the end of last February and I would very much appreciate if these schools could be reviewed.
