Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

The matter I would like to raise is relevant to the Taoiseach and the Minister for Education and Skills. Apparently, the Office of the Attorney General has advised the Government, or its predecessor, that it is legally acceptable to end the closed school rule, which is an historical commitment that was made to certain rural communities. Will the Government publish this advice and explain the rationale that makes the Government think it is acceptable to bring the rule to an end?
