Community National Schools (CNS) model was established in 2008 and has been evolving ever since. The current patronage of the Community National School Model is the Minister for Education and Skills. Patronage is planned to be transferred to the Education and Training Boards of Ireland before December 2016. At this time Boards of Management will be established in each Community National School.
