Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I appreciate the case the Deputy has made. I appreciate the case that has been made by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board and by Gaelcholáiste an Chláir itself. I can only reiterate that there are issues that need to be addressed. In particular, we have identified issues regarding uptake of places. We have an openness to working through those issues. We are positively and favourably disposed towards the establishment, ultimately, of a stand-alone Gaelcholáiste. However, we must address the issues that have been identified.
We have received the proposal from Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board. We will be in communication with the board regarding the clarifications that are needed. We have requested a more detailed proposal. I have absolutely no doubt the board will be forthcoming in its responses. We will work collectively to be positive and proactive in resolving the issues.
