Officials in my Department recently met with the Trustees of the school referred to by the Deputy. They expressed some concern about the future of the school and it is my understanding that they are considering a number of options in this regard.

The Department were advised that the Trustees were proposing to meet with the Board of Management, staff and parent body from the school to inform them of their concerns on its viability. The Department has not been further advised of the outcome of this meeting or the proposals for the future of the school.
