Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2017
216. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Skills the areas covered by each of the 314 school planning areas; the boundaries of each of these areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51963/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy has indicated, my Department divides the country into 314 school planning areas. My Department uses a Geographical Information System (GIS) to identify where the pressure for school places across the country will arise. The GIS uses data from a range of sources, including the Central Statistics Office, Ordnance Survey Ireland, the Department of Social Protection and my Department's own databases. With this information, my Department carries out nationwide demographic exercises at primary and post primary level to determine where additional school accommodation is needed.
The 314 school planning areas nationwide are listed in the following tables.
