I propose to take Questions Nos. 235 and 264 together.

Surveying will be carried out in five pilot areas initially in October this year and surveys in the balance of the forty four areas will take place in November. The 44 initial areas where surveys of parental preferences will be carried out include the Dublin 6 and 8 districts.

The outcome of the initial surveys will then be made available to the relevant school patrons who will be asked to come forward with divesting options in line with parental preferences within the areas. Full details of the Action Plan that I announced recently in response to the report of the Advisory Group to the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector are available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
