The first point of contact for my Department in dealing with the school amalgamation referred to by the Deputy is the boards of management of the schools concerned. My Department has been in communication with the boards for some time regarding this issue and most recently representatives of the schools management authorities have attended an information meeting for all schools due to have a design team appointed for major building works.

The final details of the amalgamation process are currently the subject of discussions between the boards of management, the patron and the school planning section of my Department. It is anticipated that the matter will be finalised in the near future.
