The school to which the Deputy refers commenced operation in September 2002 with provisional recognition from the Department on the basis that it would provide multidenominational education in the Clontarf, Marino and Fairview areas of Dublin. The location of the school in Glasnevin, which is served by two multidenominational schools, was intended to be a purely temporary measure. The Department has asked the Office of Public Works to identify a suitable site for a permanent school building for the school in a more appropriate location. When this happens, the Department will review the question of permanent recognition.
