View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 276 and 277 together.
The information sought by the Deputy is set out on the table. This information which relates to the 2008/09 school year is provided through the annual census of primary schools. The data for the current school year (2009/2010) is currently being compiled by my Department and the final outcome will be available later in the year.
