I propose to take Questions Nos. 155 and 157 together.

I refer to my response of 1 March 2017, when I informed 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 13 February 2017.

A copy of both reports, 'Report of the Review of DEIS' and ' DEIS Plan 2017' are available on my Department's website - .
