151.

asked the Minister for Education if he will give the current list of post primary schools for all of County Wexford; and their level of pupil intake.

152.

asked the Minister for Education if he will give details of proposals in relation to any post primary schools in Wexford regarding an increase in pupil intake; and his views on this matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 150, 151 and 152 together.

The information sought by the Deputy is given in the following tabular statement.

My Department anticipates that the number of pupils seeking places in post primary schools in County Wexford will increase slightly over the next 6/7 years. However, existing accommodation, together with the building projects currently proposed will ensure that there is sufficient accommodation available for all pupils seeking post primary places for the foreseeable future.
