The Deputy will be aware that last year I established a task force on student behaviour in second level schools. This task force produced an interim report in mid-year and has very recently completed its final report as scheduled. I am at present considering the final report and will arrange for its publication shortly.

I have indicated my clear intention of acting on this issue in a measured and effective manner. To this end, €2 million has been provided in this year's Estimates to enable the implementation of the task force report to commence this year. I expect to be in a position to make further announcements on the detail of this implementation at the point of publication of the report.
