View answerPrior to September 2014, there were 9 post-primary schools in the Dublin 15 area. As a result of increasing demographics my Department sanctioned two new post-primary schools to meet increasing demand. In September 2014, these two new post-primary schools opened in Dublin 15, namely Hansfield Educate Together Secondary School and Le Chéile Secondary School, Mulhuddart. Both of these schools will cater for 1,000 pupils each when fully developed.
