Amharc ar fhreagraA list of ETB schools in Waterford City and Waterford County is provided in the following link:
It shows numbers of pupils enrolled in these schools in the 2017-18 academic year.
The Capital Programme provides for devolved funding for additional classrooms, if required, for schools where an immediate enrolment need has been identified or where an additional teacher has been appointed. In this regard, I can confirm that my Department has recently received applications for such funding from two Post Primary schools in Waterford. These applications will be assessed and a decision will be conveyed to the school authorities when the assessment process has been completed.
