I take it that the Deputy is referring to a number of inner city schools in Dublin that recently submitted additional information to my Department in relation to their particular circumstances with regard to pupils with special educational needs. This information is currently being considered in detail by my officials and a response will issue to the schools in question as quickly as possible.
