I wish to confirm that the decision making authority for any change of status is the patron/trustees of a school, subject to the approval of my Department. To date my Department has not received any application from the patron for a change of status for Mercy Convent National School Naas Co. Kildare.
My Department understands that there has been discussions on this matter locally and that it has been confirmed that there will be no change in status for the school for 2024/25.
When or if an application is received in the Department on this matter from the patron it will be considered and a decision confirmed to the patron as soon as possible.
