Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
437. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide details of a proposed new school (details supplied) in County Dublin; the type of school; the size; the catchment area; the time scale for its construction; and when it expects to start enrolment. [16769/13]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, in June of 2011, I announced that 20 new primary schools are to be established up to 2017 across a number of locations to cater for increasing demographics. This announcement included a proposal to establish a new primary school in Lucan. The new school will commence operation in September 2013 under the patronage of County Dublin VEC to be located in interim start-up accommodation. My Department is currently working with the Local Authority to source a suitable site for the long term needs of the new school. The enrolment policy for the new school has been developed by the school's management authorities.
