Before I begin, I would like to formally and heartily welcome Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth, to the House. He is a regular and welcome visitor to the House, and I see he has a major assignment today.

I have also received notice from Senator Sharon Keogan on the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Aisling Dolan on the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education to make a statement on the delivering equality in opportunity for schools, DEIS, identification model and the timeline for schools to apply for DEIS status.

I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer on the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Garret Ahearn on the following matter:
