Question:21 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the extent to which he and or his Department have examined the impact of constraints imposed and arising from the memorandum of understanding with particular reference to the implications for smaller schools including those with a denominational ethos; if he can assist local school management authorities in this regard; if efforts have been made or are in train on such issues; if in conjunction with school authorities it has been found possible to identify the means to minimise any anticipated negative effect on rural or urban communities; the extent to which each are likely to be affected; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
