View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers is operating with provisional recognition from my Department. The question of permanent recognition will be considered when my Department is satisfied that long-term viability of the school has been demonstrated and that the school is operating in accordance with the rules for national schools. The school's accommodation needs are the responsibility of the school's management authorities pending permanent recognition being granted to the school.
