Dún Laoghaire school status
Quinn asked who would recommend whether the school should remain second-level or become third-level; the Minister said its status must be considered within the wider art education system. The next question was listed for written reply.
In regard to the status of the Dún Laoghaire school, could the Minister indicate who will make the recommendation as to whether Dún Laoghaire should remain a second-level college or propose that it become a third-level? Will he be making any recommendations on the future status of the Dún Laoghaire school?
Comment on this
If the Deputy takes into consideration what I said already, that this decision could only be taken in relation to the whole art education area in the country, he will see that there are very many interests whose advice we will have to take in the matter. Naturally the Department of Education will have their own views on this matter.
