As the Deputy may be aware, on the 16th of November, following a process undertaken by my Department which involved a survey of the views of parents, I announced that Co. Wexford VEC is to be patron of the proposed new post-primary school in Gorey.

I can confirm that all documents relating to the parental survey, with regard to the establishment of the new post primary school, will be retained in accordance with my Department's Record Management Policy.

I have published my Department's report on the process on my Department's website. This report includes details of the survey of parental preferences in the area. Furthermore, my Department's Internal Audit Unit is auditing the process of recording the preferences.
