Question 429: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if he will clarify the status of a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; if he will give the school full recognition so it can receive the full Department grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12796/09]

The school to which the Deputy refers commenced operation in September 2002 with provisional recognition from my Department on the basis that it would be providing multi-denominational education in the Clontarf/Marino/Fairview area of Dublin. Its current location in Glasnevin, which already has provision for multi-denominational education, was intended to be a purely temporary measure. It is my Department's intention ultimately to locate the school in a more appropriate location if and when suitable accommodation becomes available and subject to the availability of funding. When this happens, the Department will review the question of permanent recognition.
