View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 187 and 210 together.
The Board of Management (BOM) of the school in question advised my Department that the school will continue in its current locations until the end of June, 2015. My Department has confirmed its willingness to provide grant aid to the BOM to facilitate it renting the premises referred to for the coming school year. My officials and the NCSE are in regular contact with this school and the Association and will continue to work with them on future provision in the county.
