Minister for Education and Skills

As the Deputy will be aware, in June of 2011, I announced that 20 new primary schools and 20 new post primary schools are to be established up to 2017 across a number of locations to cater for increasing demographics. This announcement did not include a proposal to establish any new schools in the area referred to by the Deputy. My Department will continue to monitor enrolments in all areas, including the area in question, to ensure that there is sufficient school accommodation to meet any projected future demand.
