As the Deputy will be aware, I recently made an announcement giving recognition to six new Primary Schools with effect from September, 2006. As part of that announcement, I indicated that I had deferred a decision in relation to three other schools including the one to which the Deputy refers. My Department will be corresponding with the Patron bodies in the coming days outlining the position in relation to these schools. In relation to the school to which the Deputy refers, my officials are considering the comments made by the New Schools Advisory Committee with regard to the totality of provision in the area.
