Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2017
310. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the shortage of primary school places in the Baldoyle area; his plans to add additional classes in a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9955/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the school to which he refers has not been in contact with my Department to advise of any issue arising in respect of school places in September 2017.
It is open to any school to submit an application to my Department if they have identified a deficit of classroom accommodation to meet increasing enrolments or to accommodate an additional teacher appointment. Application forms can be accessed on my Department's website www.education.ie.
