My Department is considering a number of broad policy issues relating to the recognition process for second level schools. The applications from Educate Together to establish schools at second level in County Waterford and in a number of other locations is being fully examined within the context of the relevant legal, financial and other factors.

In view of the range of issues involved, it has not been possible to bring this matter to a conclusion as quickly as I would have liked. However, it is my intention to finalise this matter and convey a decision to Educate Together at the earliest date possible.
