============================================================

Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I thank the Deputy for his question. My understanding is that there has been a substantial increase in the number of schools eligible for DEIS status and the number of DEIS schools is almost double what it was previously. An appeal mechanism is available to schools that believe they should have DEIS status. If the Deputy gives me the details of the case, I will pass them on to the Department which may be able to revisit it.
