Vol. 399 No. 1
96 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education if the directive by her Department that a joint enrolment policy should operate between the various schools in Celbridge, County Kildare was discussed by the boards of management of the various schools concerned; if a decision was taken by one or all of the schools involved; if she will indicate the nature of the decision in each case; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
97 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education, having regard to the reply to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 71 and 72 of 10 May, 1990, when her Department directed that a joint enrolment policy should operate between the schools in Celbridge town and Scoil Mochua; if regard was had to the fact that some parents whose children were already attending one or other of the schools concerned might not gain admission for subsequent children; the total number of children now unable to gain admission to Scoil Mochua, despite the fact that members of the same family are already attending there; if she will re-evaluate the situation, with a view to devising a means whereby the major difficulties might be resolved; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 96 and 97 together.
The direction that schools in Celbridge should operate a joint enrolment policy was given in 1987.
The position regarding the other points in the questions is covered in previous written replies to Questions Nos. 50,115, 71 and 72 on 8 and 14 March and 10 May, respectively.
