I propose to take Questions Nos. 756 to 767, inclusive, together.

I am advised that data is returned by schools to Tusla by student name and date of birth but not by school year. Therefore Tusla has advised that it is not possible to respond to the questions relating to the school year a student is enrolled in.

I can confirm that the total number of post primary expulsions for the school year 2014/2015 was 132.

I can further confirm that the total number of post primary expulsions for the school year 2015/2016 was 156.

I can confirm that the total number of post primary suspensions for the school year 2014/2015 was 12,698.

I can further confirm that the total number of post primary suspensions for the school year 2015/2016 was 14,350.

I can confirm that the total number of post primary notices of intention to expel for the current academic year to date is 99.

I can confirm that the total number of post primary notices of intention to expel in County Louth for the current academic year to date is nine.
