As the Deputy will be aware, officials in my Department met with the Trustees of the school to which he refers. The Trustees 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 understands that the Trustees have met with the Board of Management, staff and representatives of parents from the school to inform them of their concerns on its viability. Officials from my Department contacted the Trustees to clarify their intentions in December and are awaiting the outcome of their deliberations.

The Department's decision will be made in light of the decision of the Trustees and Board of Management on the school's future.
