What we asked
The main purpose of the consultation was to ascertain the demand for an all-Gaelic School within the local authority area.
What the response was
There was a total of 673 responses. 45% of respondents were in favour of an all Gaelic School, with 55% of respondents not in favour.
What was decided as a result of the response
The motion from the administration (Council Decision - item 13) sets out what was decided by Council – point 6 of the motion agreed that against a backdrop of reducing budgets and competing priorities, the Council is not in a position to pursue this matter any further at this time, and will continue to pursue a more equitable approach of provision of Gaelic in existing schools across the wider area, thereby ensuring more pupils have access.
