The first year intake into Cork city post-primary schools last September was just over 3,000 pupils. The intake next September is expected to be slightly higher but the increase will not be such as to create any serious accommodation problem. It is expected that work in the building of new post-primary schools in Mayfield and Ashton will commence next August. Immediate needs will continue to be met by the provision of pre-fabricated classrooms.
