I propose to take Questions Nos. 88 to 97, inclusive, together.

I announced in the House on 11th January that my Department is to report to me within four weeks on the impact of the withdrawal of posts under these older schemes on DEIS Band 1 and Band 2 primary schools only. This report will detail the facts for each individual school affected by this measure, applying the most up to date enrolments for September 2011. In addition, the report will take account of the net effect of a range of factors on teacher allocations in these schools, for example increasing and decreasing enrolments and the reforms to the existing teacher allocations process, all of which will determine the staffing requirement for these schools for 2012/13 school year.

It is only when this report is made available to me that I will be in a position to make a decision on the final outcome for the individual schools involved and finalise and publish the staffing schedules for 2012/2013.

98 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will review the decision to cut the pupil-teacher ratio for a DEIS school (details supplied) in Dublin 15; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this disadvantaged school may lose five teachers unless the cuts are reversed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
