Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 April 2023
268. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Education if she will provide a breakdown of the number of Ukrainian students being taken in by both primary and secondary schools across each Dublin postal district, in tabular form. [19230/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe number of Ukrainian students enrolled in schools is set out by county in the table below, at primary and post-primary level, as of 31 March 2023. I regret that I am not in a position to provide statistics at the level of detail requested by the Deputy at this time.
My Department continues to publish figures on the enrolment of Ukrainian children each month. The latest press release of 5 April 2023 is available here: gov.ie - Department of Education confirms 15,282 Ukrainian pupils currently enrolled in Irish schools (www.gov.ie).
The Deputy may also wish to note that the CSO also publishes data on Ukrainian arrivals and enrolments on their database, data.cso.ie on a weekly basis, and the latest data available there is as of 5 April.
