217. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the sole interim manager has been re-appointed to a school (details supplied) in County Westmeath; if so for what period; when a new board of management will be constituted; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42692/14]
View answerUnder the provisions of the Education Act 1998, it is the duty of the Patron to appoint, where practicable, a Board of Management. The Education Act 1998 also provides that the Patron may appoint a person or persons to manage the school in circumstances where the appointment of a Board is not practicable or where the Patron has dissolved the Board and pending the appointment of a new Board of Management. In the case of the school in question, the Patron has, in accordance with the provisions of section 14 (8) of the Education Act 1998 appointed a Single Manager to manage the school.
