Jan O'Sullivan

Question:

76 Deputy Jan O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of dedicated school visits which she has undertaken since June 2007 in her capacity as Minister and as reported in recent newspaper profiles; the purpose of such visits; the name and location of the schools; if, on all occasions, all of the representatives of the Houses of the Oireachtas for the area in which the school was located were notified by her Department of her intended visit and invited; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

The table lists the school visits undertaken by me since June 2007. There are 32 in total, of which 21 are primary schools and 11 are post primary schools. It is a matter for individual schools to issue invites to events being hosted by them. A list issues to the media each week by the Government Information Services outlining all Ministerial public engagements. Events such as school openings and visits by myself are included on this list. My personal assistant keeps Oireachtas members informed of planned visits to particular areas of the country, on a regular basis.
