I am wrapping up. When the Minister is disbursing the budget, she must have regard for educational disadvantage in schools. There is educational disadvantage in this area. There have been reviews of DEIS schools, and it is a nonsense that this school has not been included. I know it has received legal advice and it has been established that there has been discrimination. I would ask that it not be let go at that, and that these pupils and the community be given the same boost and supports as all the other schools in the area. It is as plain as that. I ask the Minister to examine the matter.
