Written Answers. - Schools Recognition.
An application has been received in the planning and building unit of my Department for the recognition of an all-Irish unit at the post- primary school referred to by the Deputy. In processing such an application, my Department must consider matters such as potential enrolments, accommodation requirements and existing similar provision in the area. A decision on the application will be taken and the school management authorities will be advised of the outcome as soon as possible.
