Amharc ar fhreagra277 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of primary schools with an enrolment of between 50 and 99 pupils on a county basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7481/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 276 and 277 together.
The information sought by the Deputy is set out on the table. This information which relates to the 2008/09 school year is provided through the annual census of primary schools. The data for the current school year (2009/2010) is currently being compiled by my Department and the final outcome will be available later in the year.
