83. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education if she will have a virtual meeting with parents from Inishbofin Island, County Galway, to discuss creative possibilities to provide post-primary education on the island; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30260/20]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, my Department has been in recent correspondence with representatives of a community group in respect of proposed post primary provision on Inishbofin.
My Department works closely with the Department of Rural and Community Development to advance areas of mutual interest. These are set out in the Rural Action Plan and include consideration of services provided on our islands. My officials will continue this close cooperation to advance shared agendas.
