The school planning section of my Department has received an application from the school authorities of Rathkeevin national school, Clonmel, County Tipperary, to remove the enrolment cap in place at this school. The school planning section of my Department, in conjunction with the local district inspector for the area, is carrying out a review of the enrolment capping policy at this school. As part of this examination an extensive review of the enrolment situation in all the primary schools in the Clonmel area and neighbouring parish is taking place. It is expected that this review will be completed shortly. A decision in this matter will be conveyed to the school authorities as soon as possible.
