Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

I propose to take Questions Nos. 676 to 678, inclusive, together.

The following tables outline the school based expulsions by individual school and in total for County Louth for the school years 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. Tusla has advised that in order to protect students who could be easily identified the schools should not be named, as only one student was expelled in some schools in small towns.
