I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department provided a purpose built building for the school in question in 2008. My Department, therefore, has no plans to extend this building.
My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools, in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils seeking places. In this regard, my Department is aware that there is existing capacity in primary schools in the Coolock/Darndale/Artane/Edenmore areas.
My Department carries out nationwide demographic exercises at primary and post primary level to determine where additional school accommodation is needed. A new primary school opened in September 2016 to cater for demographic growth in the Drumcondra/Marino/Dublin 1 feeder area (which is adjacent to the feeder area in which the school, referred to, is situated).
