My Department have recently been informed by the school authorities that they had decided to close Rosary Hill girls' secondary school in Castleconnell as from 31st July, 1977. The Department's letter dated 10th February, 1976, was issued in the context of the continued involvement of the Presentation Sisters in second-level education in Castleconnell. The proposed closing of their school produces a new situation to which consideration will now have to be given.
