  Ms Hanafin: I propose to take Questions Nos. 563 and 565 together.

The two pupils in question were refused enrolment by the school referred to by the Deputy. An appeal under Section 29 of the Education Act, 1998 has been received by the Secretary General of my Department in respect of both pupils. As appeals under section 29 of the Education Act are determined by an independent appeals committee, it would not be appropriate for me to offer any further comment at this time.
