I propose to take Questions Nos. 480 to 485, inclusive, together.

I have been advised by TUSLA Education Welfare Service that there were 11,500 second level student suspensions nationally during the academic year 2016/2017.

There were 140 second level student expulsions nationally during the academic year 2016/2017.

I have also been advised that there were 322 second level student suspensions in County Louth during the academic year 2016/2017.

There were 10 second level student expulsions in County Louth during the academic year 2016/2017.

Further to the above request for suspension and expulsion data for a particular school (roll number provided) TUSLA are unable to provide these figures. Providing these figures for an individual school could lead to the potential identification of individual students due to the small number of suspensions and expulsions in individual schools; this would therefore constitute the disclosure of personal information.
