Question 785: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if the trustees of schools (details supplied) in Dublin 9 have notified her Department of the outcome of discussions on the amalgamation of the schools; if so, when this will take effect; if it is proposed to relocate into the vacated school building in time for occupation at the beginning of the new school year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Discussions on the amalgamation of the schools referred to by the Deputy are ongoing. My Department is in ongoing contact with the boards of management involved. The Deputy will appreciate that an amalgamation is a sensitive issue for those concerned and it would not, therefore, be helpful to plan for the re-location of the school to which the Deputy refers until the outcome of amalgamation discussions is known.
