The five primary schools in Tipperary town were not given a satisfactory answer regarding why they did not attain DEIS status. In light of the problems and social issues in the town, the schools should have no difficulty whatsoever acquiring that status. I ask the new Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy McHugh, to re-examine the applications by the schools in Tipperary town to see if they can acquire DEIS status.
