I recently announced that 20 new primary and 20 new post-primary schools are to be established in the next six years across a number of locations, including the area referred to by the Deputy. I also announced the introduction of new arrangements for the recognition of both primary and post-primary schools that will provide an opportunity for all patrons to apply for patronage of these new schools. My Department will shortly inform patron bodies of details of the initial post-primary schools that are to be established and will invite applications for patronage of these schools.
