I propose to take Questions Nos. 430 and 438 together.

As the Deputy may be aware, the school in question currently has the support of two resource teachers (RTTs) for traveller pupils. I can confirm that an application for a third RTT has been received in my Department and this is currently being considered. A decision will be conveyed to the school authorities as soon as this process has been completed.
