asked the Minister for Education if he is aware of the shortage of national school places for boys living in the Kilmore/ Coolock area, Dublin; whether he has received a request to discuss this shortage with the local national school manager; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I understand that certain parents wish to send their children to a particular school in which there is not accommodation for them. There is, however, ample accommodation for these children in the other schools in the district. The matter has been fully investigated by the Department and discussed with the authorities of the school in question.
