Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 May 2010
374 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills the number of first year places in second level schools in Lucan, County Dublin, on a school basis in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18767/10]
View answerMy Department is not involved in the allocation of school places. Enrolment in individual schools is the responsibility of the managerial authority of those schools and my Department does not seek to intervene in decisions made by schools in such matters. My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils seeking places.
From the returns made by schools to my Department in October the number of first years enrolled in post-primary schools in the Lucan area as at 30th September, 2009 were:
