Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 April 2014
225. Deputy Dara Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his Department has give consideration to establishing a third junior infants class, in view of high demand for places in a school (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15322/14]
View answerMy Department has no plans to establish a third junior infant class at the school referred to by the Deputy. The school in question was established on the basis that it would develop naturally over time to become a two stream, 16 mainstream teacher school. It is intended that the school, along with other schools in the area, will cater for demand for primary school places into the future. The Department's position has also been confirmed to the school's Patron.
