324. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to abandon the current national school model, in view of the findings contained in the recent report of the Forum of Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27948/13]
View answerThe Deputy may be aware that I published the Report of the Advisory Group to the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in April 2012 and I outlined my Action Plan in response to the Report in June 2012. My Department is implementing that Action Plan. The Advisory Group did not recommend abandoning the current national school model nor do I have any plans to do so.
