Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills (28 Feb 2013) Eoghan Murphy: I wish to raise the issue of the change to the pupil-teacher ratio in private schools that was implemented in a previous budget.

Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills (28 Feb 2013) Eoghan Murphy: From a financial point of view the Department must be anticipating or at least drawing up plans for the cost involved to the State should these and other schools decide to change their status. Is that the case?

Is it intended to carry out such work?
