Vol. 520 No. 1
387 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Education and Science if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 387 of 28 March 2000, the matter has now been examined; the decision or recommendation made in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15141/00]
A formal application for a new educate together national school in Dublin 7 was recently received in my Department. The application is currently being examined in the planning section of my Department and a report in the matter has been sought from the inspector for the area. On receipt and consideration of the inspector's report, a decision on the application will be taken as quickly as possible.
I should point out that, before I can consider granting permanent recognition, I must be satisfied that, among other things, the school is likely to have a viable future.
