The estimated cost of the Breaking the Cycle programme for 2005 is €4.6 million. The new policy framework for tackling educational disadvantage, which I will publish shortly, will create a new standardised system for identifying levels of disadvantage and put in place a new integrated programme of supports to bring together and build upon existing policy interventions and initiatives for schools and school communities with a concentrated level of disadvantage.
