Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

It is due to the number of births. The peak birth year is already in primary schools and the decline will be from the 2020-2021 school year onwards. That is not to say that other things cannot happen. Immigration will change and so on. The peak year for post-primary education is 2025-2026 so we are looking at huge expansion in second level education. We have established about 30 new 1,000-pupil second level schools and we will have many more. Many people here will be aware of those in their own constituencies. They are not just in Dublin. They are across the board.
