Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, plans for the establishment of 47 new schools (primary and post-primary) since 2018, have been announced in areas of population growth. 36 of these new schools have been established up to the 2021 academic year, 21 Primary schools and 15 Post-primary schools. The timing and need for the remaining schools was being kept under review. Following such a review recently, a determination was made to expand two existing post-primary schools in North Dublin City in lieu of the establishment of the previously announced new post primary school for the Drumcondra_Marino_D1 school planning area. The next steps include initiating the planning process for this development.
