Ms Anne McDonagh:

The Deputy also asked a question about change of patronage. There are a number of areas in Dublin that were examined by the forum and the Minister for Education and Skills has asked us to engage again with some of those areas. Malahide-Portmarnock is one such area but it seems that a new school will be built there under alternative patronage. We are going to address that issue again to see what we can do.

Deputy Keating asked whether we engaged with the Dominican Order. The Dominican Order had already handed over its site to the archdiocese so we did not engage with it, beyond the fact that we engaged with a Dominican sister who is chairperson at one of the schools involved.
