Answer
My Department does not hold this information. I have requested this information from the Education Library Service (ELS) which is a statutory service within the Education Authority (EA) that provides a comprehensive library service to Nursery, Primary, Post Primary and Special schools.
I will arrange to have the information forwarded to you as soon as possible.
