Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 June 2015
191. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the Report on the Configuration and Development of Post-Primary Schools in Limerick City, Croom and Pallaskenry 2014 to 2024 is completed; when it will be published; if it will be published before September 2015; the reason for the delay in completing and publishing it; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22724/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the Report concerned, which I will make available on receipt, is currently being finalised. Any delay, I understand, is due to more up to date school demographic information being incorporated into the Report.
As the Deputy may be aware, my Department is currently undertaking a nationwide demographic exercise to determine where additional post-primary school accommodation might be needed from 2017 onwards. In that context, the Report concerned will assist in identifying the educational accommodation needed in the Limerick area to cater for increased demand.
