Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2011
165 Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will consider the construction and development of a new primary level school in the Dundalk area of County Louth; and if he will consider a group (details supplied) as a patron for any new primary school that may be planned for Dundalk. [28764/11]
View answerIn June of this year I announced that up to 40 new schools are to be established within the next six years, comprising of twenty new primary schools and twenty new post-primary schools to cater for the increase in school going population across these identified locations. It is not proposed to open a new primary school in the general Dundalk area as the demographics of the area do not support the need for a new school.
