I would refer the Deputy to my reply on 5 November 1980 to a similar question in regard to this school. Proposals on the basis of which amalgamation might take place were conveyed by official letter of 22 September 1980 to the boards of management of Killeen central school and Cregganbane school. I have nothing further to add to my previous reply in this matter.
