46 Mr. Sheehan asked the Minister for Education and Science the plans his Department has to correct anomalies that exist in national and secondary school catchment areas throughout the country. [6894/01]
For the purposes of the post-primary education scheme, the country is divided into catchment areas, each of which has its own post primary education centre. Originally, catchment areas were determined in consultation with local educational interests on the basis that certain primary schools would feed exclusively into each centre. A relatively small number of primary schools are shared between two or more centres.
