Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application to my Department, earlier this month, for works to facilitate the amalgamation approved recently to proceed from 1st September 2016.

The application is currently under consideration and my Department will be in direct contact with the school when a decision is made.
