I understand that the task force are already considering the provisions of the School Attendance Act, 1926, in so far as these relate to their terms of reference, which are concerned only with deprived children and children at risk. Any recommendations which the task force may make in this matter will be referred to the Minister for Education, who is the Minister responsible for the administration of the Act.
