The Minister has conceded that there are anomalies here. Would she accept that the introduction of these anomalies into the arrangements for staff allocation negotiated between her Department and the INTO has produced some bizarre conclusions? I would put by way of example the situation which exists in Scoil Fhursa in Kilmore West where the girls' school is in the same complex, Scoil Íde, is regarded as disadvantaged for staff purposes.

The Deputy is referring to a specific matter worthy of a separate question.

Scoil Fhursa is not so regarded and the result is that it is doubly disadvantaged. Would the Minister accept that a school which is regarded as disadvantaged for grant purposes but not for staff purposes is doubly disadvantaged in that it does not enjoy the concessionary posts which are available and is subject to the less attractive PTR that is now in force?

The anomaly which I have readily recognised did not come in under my stewardship of the Department of Education.

It is an historical quirk.

It came in at an earlier time.

It is the children who count.

The Labour Party were in Government at the same time. The Deputy asked a particular question with regard to Scoil Fhursa. I would not have at my disposal the answer to that question but certainly I will get the facts and have them forwarded to the Deputy.
