View answerMy Department is currently carrying out a nationwide demographic exercise to determine where additional post-primary school places might be needed from 2017 onwards. This includes an examination of the Kildare South area. On foot of this review, arrangements will be made to provide additional post-primary accommodation where this is needed. In the meantime, as previously advised, a building project to provide for additional post-primary school places in Newbridge is at tender stage.
