Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
943. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if eligibility for Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools status will be reviewed for schools currently not covered (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21494/15]
View answerSchools were selected for participation in DEIS based on an independent identification process in 2005 and a subsequent Appeals process in 2006. As the Deputy may be aware, I have recently announced a process for the review of DEIS, which will include the development over the course of the next school year of a new identification process for all schools, including those mentioned by the Deputy.
The outcome of this process will form part of an overall proposal for the delivery of future interventions to tackle educational disadvantage, including DEIS.
