View answerIn February of this year I announced that a new primary school will be opened in September 2016 to meet a demographic need in the Drumcondra/Marino area of Dublin.
As with all such new schools, my Department will run an open patronage determination process to establish who will operate the new school. This process will take place later this year. It will be open to all patrons and prospective patrons to apply to run the school in question, including those proposing Irish-medium education.
