Will the Tánaiste update us on the status of the value for money review of small schools? The Government has been sitting on it for 18 months and in the meantime has implemented many measures that have been damaging to small schools across the country. Can we have an indication of when it will be laid before the House in order that we can have a debate on it?

A second matter concerns the upcoming social welfare Bill after the budget. Are there plans to reform the way the back to education allowance is administered and properly empower Intreo officers to make decisions and work with applicants to ensure they can be supported in going back to education? Will the Tánaiste reform it in the social welfare Bill?
