I propose to take Questions Nos. 269 to 271, inclusive, together.

Details of the number of schools and pupil enrolments in each sector, as requested by the Deputy, are set out in the table. The Deputy should note that the pupil numbers include those availing of Post Leaving Certificate courses.

My Department publishes data on the number of schools in each of the sector together with overall enrolment totals in its annual Statistical Report. Although the report for the 2005/06 school year is still in preparation, I have provided the figures for that school year on a provisional basis to the Deputy.
