Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

A decision was taken by the trustees of the school to which the Deputy refers that it will close in June 2007. A decision has not yet been taken by my Department on the future use of the school building and site. The concerns of the local parish will be taken into account when considering this matter.
