Question:

545 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the review of schools in the Whitehall area of Dublin; and the implications for a school (details supplied) in relation to its request for a school. [29429/04]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

Officials in the school planning section of my Department are actively conducting an overall review of primary education in the Whitehall area of Dublin. The purpose of the examination is to determine the likely demand for primary school places in the medium to long term and how existing provision can be maximised to cater for this demand.

This review, which will be completed as quickly as possible, is taking the long term accommodation needs of the school referred to by the Deputy into consideration.
