I am pleased to inform the Deputy that following my meeting with the Christian Brothers Trustees yesterday, they have taken a decision to postpone the closure of the school to which the Deputy refers for another year. I welcome this development because it provides certainty for pupils, parents and teachers for the coming school year. Crucially it also allows my Department time to ensure that the pupils who would have expected a placement in the school in the coming years to have alternative placements. My Department can now work with the Trustees and those in other schools to achieve this.
