The number of primary schools situated in the Postal Districts referred to by the Deputy are as follows:

Postal District	Number of Primary Schools
Dublin 2	4

The information requested by the Deputy in respect of individual schools is given in the form of a table which I will have circulated with the official report.

In relation to the question of co-ordination and rationalisation, my Department favours this course on the basis of consensus and agreement. However my Department is not at present involved in discussions on rationalisation with the Board of Management of any school in the areas referred to by the Deputy.
