I propose to take Questions Nos. 213 and 214 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is available in the attached table. The Department publishes information on second level retention rates by cohort - the latest information available is for the cohort of pupils who entered second level education in 2011 and were due to complete the Leaving Certificate in June of 2016 or 2017, depending on whether they completed Transition Year.
Further information on school retention rates is available in the retention reports on the Department's website, available at the following link:

Each cohort refers to the percentage of entrants to Junior Cycle in a given year who completed second level with a Leaving Certificate including those who left the state-aided system to complete their Leaving Certificate in a private institution and also factors in those students who left the country or died in the period under consideration. Educational pathways outside the publicly aided school system such as Youthreach and apprenticeship training are not taken into account.
