Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The DEIS programme has been hugely successful, and a number of schools in my constituency benefit from the additional resources that come with it, and they need it, given the disadvantage in the area. I am not an expert on it at all. I know there is a special arrangement in the north-east inner city. There is also DEIS band 1 and DEIS band 2. I will certainly let the Minister, Deputy Foley, know that the matter was raised and ask her to reply directly to the Deputy.
