Officials in the school planning section of my Department are in ongoing discussions with the management authorities of the schools to which the Deputy refers regarding a possible amalgamation. My Department is making every effort to facilitate the process in question. Due to the requirement for sensitivity and confidentiality in relation to these discussions, it would not be appropriate to make a statement until the negotiations have reached a conclusion.
