Parliamentary Question addressed to the Minister for Education and Skills
1st February 2015 - Olivia Mitchell TD
To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if her attention has been drawn to the gross under provision of primary school places in the Goatstown area, Dublin 14, where the local schools application for September 2015 is four times the potential intake; and if she will make a statement on the matter?
On Thursday the 5th of February last I announced that seven new primary schools are to be established in the next two years. One of the new schools to be established in 2016, is in the Goatstown/Stillorgan area. A patronage determination process for this school will be run later this year.
Garran Mhuire NS, Goatstown received funding for a new 16 classroom replacement school which was completed in 2014.
Also additional classroom accommodation has been provided in the last two years at three primary schools in the adjoining Stillorgan area:
St Raphaelas NS, Stillorgan received 4 classrooms,
SN Cnoc Ainbhil, Mount Anville received 2 classrooms and
Scoil Caoimhin Naofa, Stillorgan received 3 classrooms.
