DEIS schools are extremely important. One in four schools in this country are DEIS at this point and we have a number of different initiatives to support them. For example, we have the hot school meals programme and, as the Deputy knows, there is the free books scheme. If this refers to a particular school in the Deputy’s constituency or county, he can bring that to my attention and I can see if there is a process that we can bring forward for that particular school to apply for DEIS.
