I propose to take Questions Nos. 420 and 478 together.
The school planning section of the Department recently met the trustees involved in the proposed amalgamation of the post-primary schools to which the Deputies refer. The issue of opposition from a particular group was raised. The Department provided the trustees with clarification on its proposal for a single school development, which had formerly been agreed, and it now awaits the outcome of further local consultations among the school communities in this matter.
