Helen Keogh

Question:

94 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for Education if she will give her views on the growing number of second chance Leaving Certificate private schools being established around the country; if she has satisfied herself that proper educational criteria are met in all cases; and, if not, the action, if any, that is open to her to remedy this situation.

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

The institutions referred to are private commercial enterprises. They do not come under the jurisdiction of my Department and, consequently, I am not in a position to investigate or regulate their operations.
