Yes. A school is planned to open in September 2016. People can apply to go any school but our duty is to make sure there is school of choice in their area. When patrons apply to build and run that school, they must then agree to certain criteria. Under those criteria, patrons must commit to enrolling pupils from the geographical areas for whom the school is intended. There are two schools here. The Glencullen area will be served by the 1,000-pupil school that will open in September 2016. Naturally, if there is space available, people are allowed to apply to the other school but the school being provided for them is the one in their school feeder area.
