Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 October 2017
366. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the percentage of the 140 second level students expelled in County Louth during the academic year 2016/2017 that attended schools based in Drogheda. [44687/17]
View answerTUSLA has confirmed that 60% of reported expulsions in Co. Louth during the academic year 2016/2017 were from schools based in Drogheda.
Please note that reports have been received for 11 of 18 post-primary schools in Louth. From those 11 schools 10 students have been suspended and of those 10 students, 6 have come from Drogheda schools.
I have been advised by TUSLA that it does not hold any evidence stating that 140 second level students were expelled in County Louth during the academic year 2016/2017.
