The school to which the Deputy refers is Ennis Community College and is classified as a Community College. This school is an English-medium school which also has an Aonad/Irish-medium unit known as "Gaelcholáiste an Chláir".

The patron of this Community College has written to the Department seeking approval for the Aonad known as "Gaelcholáiste an Chláir" to transition into a standalone gaelcholáiste. This is currently under consideration within the Department.
