My Department is in the process of concluding a report on the outcome of a nationwide demographic exercise to determine where additional post-primary school accommodation will be needed from 2017 onwards. This exercise encompassed all areas of the country, including Kinnegad. I will announce the details of the new post-primary schools to be provided nationwide arising from this exercise in due course. Where new schools are to be established, my Department runs an open patronage determination process to decide who will operate the schools. It is open to all patrons and prospective patrons to apply under this process.
