I propose to take Questions Nos. 203 and 204 together. I wish to advise the Deputy that the question of enrolment in individual schools is the responsibility of the patron/managerial authority of those schools and my Department does not hold information on this matter. The Statistics Section of my Department's website at www.education.ie contains extensive data relating to schools at primary and post primary level including enrolments in individual schools for the past five years. The most recent published information relates to the 2013/2014 school year. Data in relation to the 2014/15 school year will be published later in the current school year.
I also wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is in contact with the patron of the three schools in question in relation to enrolments for the forthcoming school year. My Department understands that the Patron is consulting directly with the schools concerned relating to the enrolment matters raised. My Department will continue to liaise with the Patron, who has ultimate responsibility for the governance and management of the schools concerned.
