On 10 January I announced a new initiative on school ownership at primary and post-primary levels. In my statement, I indicated that discussions would be held with all interested parties on the operational arrangements for the new initiative. To this end, a working group has been established in my Department and is currently examining the implementation details. When this work has been finalised, my Department will be in a position to advance individual projects such as Piltown national school.
