Cuts in resources for disadvantaged schools announced in the budget could be reversed.
A number of Labour backbench TDs had expressed concerns about the proposal, which came under renewed focus as the Dáil returned from the Christmas break yesterday.

Last night Education Minister Ruairi Quinn said his Department would prepare a report in the coming weeks assessing the impact of the cuts on the schools in a case by case basis.
According to newspaper reports today the review came after Minister Quinn was approached by a delegation of unhappy Labour TDs, led by Pat Rabbitte.
