Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 299 and 300 together.

With regard to the school referred to by the Deputy, a member of my Department's Inspectorate visited the school in June 2019, the purpose of which was to gather information in relation to the operation of the vocational skills programme within school time.

Since then, my Department has engaged with the Board of Management and other stakeholders involved with the school, including the NCSE, HSE, patron and trustees, to ensure appropriate educational provision is in place for the students in the school. This engagement is ongoing.

The report referred to by the deputy is a report on staffing in the school. I understand that this report has been released by the NCSE to a parent who requested it.
