Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy asked a number of questions. The matter of small schools applies not just in the case of any faith in particular but is an issue of concern that has been raised by both Catholic schools and Church of Ireland schools. This was of particular concern in the run-up to the most recent budget and was reflected in the decision of the Minister not to change the pupil-teacher ratio and therefore have an effect on it.
