124. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his views on the DEIS status of a school (details supplied); if the status will be affected by an amalgamation with another school; the reason the DEIS status may be affected when the demographics of the area remain the same; the avenues of appeal available in the event of a change in DEIS status; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Planning and Building Unit of my Department received correspondence on Tuesday 2nd July 2019from the school authorities in question relating to a proposed amalgamation. I wish to advise the Deputy that, at the time of reply, my Department has no record of receiving correspondence from the Patron relating to this matter.

Any correspondence received and issues raised regarding DEIS status will be considered and a response will be conveyed to the Patron directly.
