I propose to take Questions Nos. 247 and 248 together.

The Procedure for Review of Inspections on Schools and Teachers under Section 13(9) of the Education Act 1998 provides for an informal and formal review process. In 2013, there was one request for a formal review of an inspection in relation to a special school. The outcome of this review was that the appeal was upheld and the inspection report was withdrawn. There were no requests for formal reviews at post-primary level in 2013.
