I propose to answer Questions Nos. 145 and 147 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the review of DEIS has been completed and the new action plan for educational inclusion entitled 'DEIS Plan 2017', was published together with a report of the review, on the 13th February 2017.

A copy of the both reports, 'Report on the Review of DEIS' and the 'DEIS Plan 2017' are available on my Department’s website – www.education.ie.
