View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the Department recently met with the principals of the post primary schools in the areas in question to ascertain the actual number of pupils in the school planning area who have not received an offer of a school place for September 2021.
The Department is satisfied that accommodation solutions can be put in place to meet these requirements and is currently engaging with the school's patron bodies in relation to increasing their intake for September 2021 and future years.
