It is my Department's policy to support the provision of all-Irish school facilities at primary and post-primary level in all areas where a demand for such provision is clearly demonstrated and no alternative exists within a reasonable distance. An application has been received from County Donegal VEC to establish a Gaelcholáiste in the area referred to, from September 2007 and this is under active consideration in my Department. A decision on the granting of recognition to the proposed school will be conveyed to the VEC when the assessment is finalised.
