Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 December 2014
146. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of children attending primary schools in Ballymun, Dublin 11; and if she will provide in tabular form the absentee rates for the years 2010 onwards. [47358/14]
View answerTusla/EWS (and formerly NEWB) commissions an annual report on school attendance by the Educational Research Centre, Drumcondra, that provides national and county level data, but not school level data. Therefore it is not possible to provide information on individual schools.
Schools complete an Annual Attendance Report after the end of each school year. These reports are sent by the Agency to ERC for data processing and compilation of the annual attendance report.
A list of all primary schools and their enrolment can be found on the Department of Education and Skills website at http://www.education.ie/en/Publications/Statistics/Data-on-Individual-Schools/
