Amharc ar fhreagraThe managerial authorities of the schools in question have agreed to amalgamate to form a new co-educational school. The school planning section of my Department is currently examining the long-term accommodation needs of the proposed new single co-educational school. As soon as a decision is taken in this matter, my officials will be in direct contact with the school authorities. The needs of the new school will be considered in the context of the ongoing review of all projects that have not proceeded to tender and construction.
