View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, in June 2011 I announced that 20 new primary and 20 new post-primary schools are to be established up to 2017 across a number of locations. This announcement did not include a proposal to establish a new primary school in the area referred to. However, my Department will continue to monitor enrolments in the Portobello area to ensure that there is sufficient school accommodation to meet any projected future demands.
