Brendan Griffin

Question:

178. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she has read the value for money report on two teacher schools, which was commissioned by the previous Government; her views on the findings of the report; her views that the methodology was sound or flawed; her views that the report is now obsolete, in view of the fact that it was commissioned so long ago; the number of copies of the report that exist and where they might be found; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I am currently reviewing the report of the value for money review of small primary school provision. As the organisation of school provision is of general importance to communities, it is appropriate that the Government collectively considers the report's findings and recommendations. As soon as this collective consideration is complete, the report will be published on my Department's website.
