My Department has recently announced plans to open at least 13 new post-primary schools over the next five years to cater for increased demographics in a number of locations including the North County Dublin/South County Louth area. Decisions on the patronage of any new school will be taken in line with the Programme for Government which gives a commitment to move towards a more pluralist system of patronage at second level, recognising a wider number of patrons. This will have also have regard to all-Irish provision. It is my intention to address this policy.
