524. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question No. 1169 of 26 July 2022, if she recognises that her Department’s reliance on the Pobal HP deprivation index in determining DEIS status is too blunt an instrument and can result in significantly disadvantaged students not receiving the supports they need, with an example being the index readings in Killarney, County Kerry; if she will review the matter sooner than Q3 2023, as referred to in her previous reply, with a view to factoring in broader evidence than the Pobal HP deprivation index; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
