Minister for Education and Skills

The 2012/13 enrolment in schools in the feeder areas to which the Deputy refers is contained in the attached table. 2013/14 enrolments are not yet available. The Deputy will be aware that the Five Year Construction Plan, that I announced on 9 March 2012, outlines the major school projects that will commence construction over the duration of the Plan. The primary aim at the core of the Five Year Plan is focused on meeting demographic demands to ensure that every child will have access to a physical school place and that our school system is in a position to cope with increasing pupil numbers. The Plan provides for the following projects in the areas referred to by the Deputy:

- Celbridge: New school building for Ardclough National School and an extension project for the North Kildare Educate Together School.

- Celbridge: New school building for Scoil Naomh Pádraig

- Maynooth: New school building for Gael Scoil Uí Fiach

- Clane: Extension projects for St. Patrick's Boys National School and Scoil Náisiunta Bhride, Clane

- Kilcock: Extension project for St. Joseph's Boys National School, Kilcock

The current status of all projects, including the progress of the projects set out above, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie and this will be updated regularly throughout the year.

The Forward Planning Section of my Department will continue to analyse demographic trends to determine the level of additional school provision which will be required into the future. School accommodation requirements in the areas referred to by the Deputy will be fully considered in this context.
