The patronage process for new schools is overseen by an external independent advisory group, the New Schools Establishment Group (NSEG). This Group was set up in 2011 to advise the Minister on the patronage of new schools. Following their consideration of the Department’s assessment reports, the NSEG submits a report with recommendations to me for consideration and final decision. The assessment reports and the NSEG recommendations for all such patronage processes are made available on the education section of the gov.ie website.

Since the introduction of the new patronage process in 2011, 49 post primary schools were established which were overseen by the New Schools Establishment Group. The list of schools by patronage body and ethos is set out at the following link.
