I propose to take Questions Nos. 236 and 237 together.

The information in the following table is taken from the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Retention reports by the Department of Education and Skills, on school retention in Ireland. It is based on a detailed analysis of the records held in the Department's Post-Primary Pupils Database (PPPDB) for the cohort of entrants to the first year of the junior cycle in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, who sat the Leaving Certificate Examinations in the years from 2010 to 2013. The Department will produce a report on the 2008 cohort for those who sat the Leaving Certificate in 2014 by the end of the year.
