Brendan Kenneally

Question:

188 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Education the ten schools in the country in descending order with the highest number of pupils that do not have the use of a remedial teacher; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5673/96]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

Based on enrolment numbers on 30 September 1995, the ten schools in the country in descending order with the highest number of pupils that do not have access to a remedial teaching service are:

School	Enrolment
St. Mary's NS, Ballygunner, County Waterford	385
St. Mary's NS, Buncrana, County Donegal	325
Leanbh Íosa Infants, Whitehall, Dubin 9	297
St. Mary's Central NS, Donnybrook, Dublin 4	287
Our Lady of the Assumption Infant Boys, Walkinstown, Dublin 12	279
SN Oilibhéir Pobal, Clonsilla, Dublin 15	278
Scoil Chrónáin, Rathcoole, County Dublin	275
Scoil Moibhí, Glasnevin, Dubin 9	271
Gaelscoil Uí Riada, Baile an Easpaig, Cork	266
Cork School Project, Little William Street, Cork	264

When I am in a position to extend the remediation service, the needs of the schools in question will be given every consideration.
