School group Educate Together has been formally recognised by the Education Minister as a second-level patron, which gives it the green light to develop new secondary schools in Ireland.
Ruairi Quinn confirmed that the organisation has met all the government's requirements to operate as a patron of secondary schools and praised the group for its work with its existing primary education facilities.
"You have shown great leadership in creating and sustaining a national network of primary schools," he told the group's annual general meeting, adding that he has long been a supporter of the organisation's involvement at this level.
