Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

Any decision to expand or extend any of the initiatives aimed at tackling educational disadvantage is being considered in the context of a broad review of all such initiatives, which is currently underway in my Department. I anticipate that the review process will be completed shortly.
