Amharc ar fhreagraThe patronage of the new post-primary school for Maynooth was decided in accordance with the criteria for patronage determination for new schools, which I announced and published in June 2011. All of the documents relating to my decision on the patronage for this school are also published on my Department's website. In accordance with this decision, the school will be commencing operation in 2014 under Education and Training Board patronage.
