View answerOn Thursday the 5th of February last I announced that seven new primary schools are to be established in the next two years. One of the new schools to be established in 2016 is in the Goatstown-Stillorgan area. A patronage determination process for this school will be run later this year.
Garran Mhuire NS, Goatstown received funding for a new 16 classroom replacement school which was completed in 2014.
Also additional classroom accommodation has been provided in the last two years at three primary schools in the adjoining Stillorgan area: St Raphaela's NS, Stillorgan, received 4 classrooms, SN Cnoc Ainbhil, Mount Anville, received 2 classrooms and Scoil Caoimhín Naofa, Stillorgan, received 3 classrooms.
