Mr. Hubert Loftus:

Focusing on where there is a demand is one clear part of the strategy. In terms of new multi-denominational schools in Dublin 8 or otherwise, the issue is that of where there is a demographic need for a new school. This is considered, and where existing capacity is insufficient to meet the need, action is taken. The parental voice that comes through as part of a patronage survey engagement determines the nature and ethos of the school. I know that my colleague Ms Cusack is quite familiar with the Dublin 8 area. It is not necessarily the case from our perspective that the demographics would support a new school requirement at this point in time.
