137. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide an update on the survey of parents by school boards on uniforms; if his attention has been drawn to the number of schools that have undertaken a survey; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18839/14]

I wish to advise the Deputy that the school uniform policy is a matter for each individual school and not my Department. My initiative late last year was aimed at strengthening the role of parents in how schools decide their policies on uniforms. I intend to gather what feedback I can gather from schools and from the National Parents Councils.
