Written answers

Gaelscoil Choladh an Treoigh commenced operation with provisional recognition from my Department in 2001. Newly established schools are generally required to undergo a period of provisional recognition during which the operation of the school and the growth of pupil numbers are monitored.

An application for permanent recognition has been received and is under consideration in the school planning section of my Department. As part of the examination, factors such as the long-term viability of the school, current and projected enrolments and suitability of accommodation will be considered. A decision on the school's application will be made as soon as possible.
