A new school, in partnership between Educate Together and City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB), is to be established in Dublin.
The new second-level school in the Whitehall area is to be named the Clonturk College, which will be co-located in the building currently occupied by Plunket College.
The new college will open next September with an expected first year intake of 75 students.
Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O'Sullivan, TD, welcomed the news.
She said: "This is very positive news for educational provision on the northside of Dublin. The CDETB will be the patron of the school, with Educate Together the Trustee Partner and the new school will be known as Clonturk College. There are very vibrant multi-denomination primary schools in this area of Dublin and this new second-level school will provide families and students with additional school choice on leaving primary school. I would like to acknowledge the very constructive role that both the CDETB and Educate Together played in this process."
