View answer153 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason boys (details supplied) in County Kildare do not have the same facilities when they transfer from an infant school to a boys’ school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18033/04]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 152 and 153 together.
The schools to which the Deputy refers have agreed in principle to the reorganisation of both schools from 1 September 2004 and discussions on the matter are currently ongoing with the planning unit of my Department.
On the basis of this agreement in principle, both schools are being considered for staffing under the disadvantage initiatives for 2004-05.
A detailed review of all disadvantaged initiatives is currently nearing completion and will impact on existing initiatives. I hope to announce the outcome of this review shortly.
