Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that since DEIS was launched in 2005 a total of 37 schools with DEIS status have amalgamated with other schools, some of which had DEIS status and some of which were non-DEIS schools. There were 29 such amalgamations at primary level and 8 at post primary. The details of same are set out in the table attached. In line with all such amalgamations, the new school continues to receive the current level of supports in respect of the number of eligible pupils from the former DEIS school until that pupil cohort have left the school. In the case of a primary school these supports continue to be supplied for 8 years following the amalgamation. In the case of a post primary school these supports continue to be supplied for 6 years following the amalgamation.

DEIS was launched in 2005

First Amalgamations involving DEIS Schools are in the 2007/08 school year. (No such amalgamations in 2008/09 school year).
