The table lists the school visits undertaken by me since June 2007. There are 32 in total, of which 21 are primary schools and 11 are post primary schools. It is a matter for individual schools to issue invites to events being hosted by them. A list issues to the media each week by the Government Information Services outlining all Ministerial public engagements. Events such as school openings and visits by myself are included on this list. My personal assistant keeps Oireachtas members informed of planned visits to particular areas of the country, on a regular basis.
