The Deputy will appreciate that using different locations on a map as a centre-point will give differing outcomes in terms of schools within a certain radius. Using Tyrconnell Park, there are 10 post primary schools within a 3km direct-line radius. All of these schools are within a 4km driving distance from that same point. They, with their ethos and gender intake, are listed in the table below. The application used by my Department does not produce public transport routes nor analysis of road type. However, a map of the area which shows post primary schools identified by Roll Number and colour-coded by ethos, is attached.
Information on public transport, including a useful Journey Planner, is available on the Transport for Ireland website, www.transportforireland.ie
Journey times are readily available online on widely-used mapping services. For the Deputy’s convenience they are included below, estimated for a 9am weekday arrival time.
