I take it that the Deputy is referring to cases where a school which is under the patronage of an Education and Training Board amalgamates with a local voluntary secondary school which is under the patronage of a religious order in order to form a new community school. In such cases, under the terms of the agreed Deed of Trust for a Community School, the patron duties are undertaken jointly by the partners to the amalgamation, namely the relevant Education and Training Board and the the religious order. The Education and Training Boards are actively involved in Community Schools.
