Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if there are sufficient secondary school places in Lucan, County Dublin, to cater for all the pupils finishing primary school education each year for the next five years; the provision that has been made for the shortfall; the secondary schools outside of Lucan where parents may send their children; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department is currently analysing the latest demographic data on a nationwide basis to determine where additional school accommodation might be needed from 2015 onwards. This process includes an examination of the Lucan area. When this exercise has been completed arrangements will be made to make accommodation available where it is needed.
