I propose to take Questions Nos. 205 and 224 together.

As the Deputy may be aware, all newly established schools operate on a co-educational basis.

Any school wishing to change their status to become co-educational facilities, or who wish to amalgamate to form a single co-educational facility, may contact the Schools Capital Appraisal Section of my Department for advice on how to make an application in this regard.
