I was dismayed when I saw the list on Monday that not one school in either Dáil constituency in County Kildare had the opportunity to gain rural or urban DEIS status. One of the urban schools is the newest and biggest school in Newbridge where the children come from very socially disadvantaged backgrounds. In terms of rural areas, there are three at this point in time. As the Ceann Comhairle knows, we have many small rural schools in south Kildare. Whatever criteria were used, one school in Coill Dubh is very close to a school in Derrinturn-----
