Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

As outlined, the Department is and remains fully committed to the establishment of a Gaelcholáiste in the Dublin south city area and is working with the Edmund Rice Schools Trust on the successful transition of Synge Street CBS to a co-educational Gaelcholáiste on a phased basis from September 2026. I will ask the Minister to come back directly to the Deputy if he needs clarity on any specific questions. The Department is currently working with the Edmund Rice Schools Trust to ensure there is continued and clear engagement with the school in question on the successful transition to a co-educational Gaelcholáiste on a phased basis. Officials from the Department along with officials from ASTI head office are to meet in the coming weeks with the senior management and teaching staff of the school to discuss the professional learning and deployment options available to them. I will ask the Minister to come back to the Deputy.
