Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has been working closely with the school Patrons in Ballincollig, County Cork.  On this basis, I can advise that there is adequate permanent provision to cater for students seeking to enrol in second-level schools, in the area, for the 2020-21 school year.
