Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has not been made aware of any issues with school places in Kilkenny City.

Information in relation to all school projects being planned and delivered, in Co Kilkenny, is available on my Department’s website, www.education.ie.  The delivery of such projects will provide sufficient accommodation to meet demand into the future.
