*The enrolment figures for the 2017/2018 school year are not yet finalised.
As with other school planning areas nationwide, the demographic data for the Fingal East, Ballymun, Dublin 11 school planning area is being reviewed by my Department to take account of updated child benefit data and updated enrolment data. It is anticipated that this exercise will be concluded shortly.
Where demographic data indicates that additional provision is required, the delivery of such additional provision is dependent on the particular circumstances of each case and may, depending on the circumstances, be provided through either one, or a combination of, the following:
- Utilising existing unused capacity within a school or schools,
- Extending the capacity of a school or schools,
- Provision of a new school or schools.
