Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 448 and 449 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is provided in the National School Annual Census return. The census for the current school year (2012/13) is being finalised at present and results will be published on my Department's website later in the year. At that point the definitive answers to the Deputy's questions will be provided as they are dependent on the finalised enrolment data.

In the meantime, the full list of primary schools in county order with their enrolments for the 2011/12 school year can be found on my Department's website the following link: http://www.education.ie/en/Publications/Statistics/stats_FULL_SCHOOL_LIST_2011-2012.xls. The number of primary schools with fewer than 3 teachers in 2011/12 classified by county is as follows.
