Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 February 2005
251 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science if she has received an application for a new primary school in Laytown, County Meath; if she will make a decision in the near future on this application in view of the large number of children who live in the area and cannot be accommodated in the existing national school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4113/05]
View answerMy Department has received an application for the recognition of a new primary school in Laytown, County Meath, for September 2005. As the Deputy may be aware, the new schools advisory committee, which was established in 2002, independently assesses and makes recommendations to me on all applications for the recognition of new primary schools. Decisions in respect of applications for the recognition of new schools with effect from the commencement of the 2005-06 school year will issue to applicants by the 15 April 2005.
