On 26 September 2013 I announced my decisions regarding the patronage of new primary schools due to open in 2014. That announcement advised the deferral of the establishment of the proposed new primary school for Middleton/Carrigtwohill in Cork pending further reviews of the demographics of the area by my Department. Further to my announcement today in relation to my decisions regarding the patronage of the new post-primary schools set to open in 2015 and 2016, I can confirm that the patron of the new post-primary school for the Midleton/Carrigtwohill area will be the Cork Education and Training Board with the involvement of the Catholic Bishop of Cloyne. The new school is expected to commence operation in the 2016/17 school year.
