As the Deputy may be aware, in order to plan for school provision and analyse the relevant demographic data, my Department divides the country into 314 school planning areas. For school planning purposes Meakstown/Charlestown is located in the Finglas East_Ballymun_Dublin 11 school planning area, in which there are currently 9 primary schools.

Each school planning area, including the Finglas East_Ballymun_Dublin11 school planning area, encompasses a number of areas such as Charlestown and Meakstown. It is not necessary to have an individual school planning area for each area and such a division would not allow for a comprehensive analysis of demand in the wider area.
