242.

asked the Minister for Education which hierarchy he intends to consult in relation to the deed of trust for community schools; and if the deed of trust, as drafted, confines possible representation on the management board of such schools to members of any particular hierarchy.

Invitations to send a delegation to meet the Minister for Education have been conveyed to the following educational organisations:

Teachers Union of Ireland

Association of Secondary Teachers of Ireland

The Conference of Major Religious Services

Joint Delegations

The Episcopal Commission on Education

Inquiry has been made as to whether the Church of Ireland Board of Education and the Secondary Education Committee would wish to be invited to meet the Minister for Education for discussions on the provisions of the draft model of trust for the community schools.

Invitations to a meeting with the Minister in relation to this matter have not so far been issued to any other organisation or group.

The provisions of the present draft of the model lease in relation to representation on the management board are set out at paragraph (3) of the First Schedule of the Lease. A copy of the lease was placed in the Library of Dáil Éireann on 6 May 1976.
