I assume that the Deputy is referring to St. Patrick's National School, Kilmaine, Co. Mayo, and the partial surrender of a portion of the school site for the establishment of a playschool. My Department is in ongoing consultation with the solicitors in relation to the matter and has recently written to them requesting additional information with a view to bringing the matter to a conclusion. A response is awaited including the completed nomination form for the appointment of new trustees. Until same is received, my Department cannot progress the matter further.
