My Department has received an application for the recognition of a new primary school in Laytown, County Meath, for September 2005. As the Deputy may be aware, the new schools advisory committee, which was established in 2002, independently assesses and makes recommendations to me on all applications for the recognition of new primary schools. Decisions in respect of applications for the recognition of new schools with effect from the commencement of the 2005-06 school year will issue to applicants by the 15 April 2005.
