Ceist:159 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Education and Science if a decision on the application of a private college will be taken before the commencement orders for the Education Act, 1998, have issued. [8456/99]
Written Answers. - Schools Recognition.
I am not aware of such an application having been received in my Department. Applications for the recognition of schools at first and second level are processed by the planning section of my Department in Tullamore. I would suggest that the college in question contact planning section with a view to progressing the matter.
