I am confident the meeting taking place this afternoon may resolve the issues which have arisen. Ultimately, responsibility for the governance or running of the school rests with the board of management. If the parents are not happy with the decision taken by the board of management, they have recourse to a higher appeals process and they are aware of those options. From the reply given to me and from the indications received locally, it is the intention to resolve these issues through discussion and co-operation and collaboration with the parents and the child concerned.
