Vol. 411 No. 4

Written Answers. - Foynes (Limerick) Post-Primary Education.

Michael Finucane

Question:

255 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Education if, as a result of her recent visit to Stella Maris Convent in Foynes, County Limerick, she will confirm that there will be a continuation of second level education at this establishment after the Sisters of Mercy have ceased providing education there.

The Deputy will be aware that the Mercy Order, which manage the Stella Maris secondary school, Foynes, have made known their intention of withdrawing from management at the end of the academic year 1995.

On Friday, 4 October, I visited the school and met with representatives of the school action committee who are anxious to ensure that post-primary education will continue to be provided in Foynes after the withdrawal of the Mercy Order.
The issues raised require careful consideration and I am not yet in a position to give a final decision on the matter.
