Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2013
267. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the steps he is taking to address the growing demand for primary school start places in County Meath in view of the fact that recent reports that the demand outstrips availability; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6847/13]
View answerThree new primary schools have opened in the last few years in County Meath to meet increased pupil numbers in the area and many existing schools in the County have had their intake capacity expanded. The Forward Planning Section of my Department will continue to monitor enrolments in County Meath to ensure that there is sufficient school accommodation to meet any projected future demands.
