James O'Connor (FF), Cork East

I raise the DEIS scheme, which, as the Minister will know, is of huge importance to constituents in my area, particularly in Youghal. We have taken in a very substantial number of Ukrainian refugees, almost 1,000 in the town. There was already significant social need in that area. Is the Government looking at expanding the DEIS scheme further? Youghal very much needs supports for our three local schools that have not received DEIS status - only one got it on appeal - for the students in the local area, our new Ukrainian students and those in the west Waterford side as well.
