216. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if, in view of the outcome of the recently completed surveys of primary school patronage, in which parents in 20 of the locations surveyed expressed a preference for the establishment of a primary school under the patronage of Educate Together, he intends to carry out a similar survey for post primary schools, in order that the growing demand for post primary schools under the patronage of Educate Together can be assessed and provided for; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The surveys referred to by the Deputy were carried out on foot of recommendations made by the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the primary sector. Resources are now being concentrated on implementing the survey outcomes. I have no plans to extend the surveys to post-primary level at this time.
