Parliamentary Question addressed to the Minister for Education and Skills

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills when the patronage determination  process will commence for the new primary school in the Goatstown/Stillorgan area in County Dublin; the timeframe for this process; and if she will make a statement on the matter?

On 5 February 2015, I announced that seven new primary schools will commence between 2015 and 2016.

Four of those schools will start this September. Therefore, resources are being concentrated on a patronage determination process for these particular schools. 

A patronage determination process for the three schools opening in 2016, which includes the one to which the Deputy refers, will be carried out later this year.
