Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Schools Building Programme Delays: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Brian Power:

Yes. At local level there have been inputs both from the schools and from Tusla, which has come back to us. We are looking at all the figures at present. We are trying to disaggregate the figures that have come from the schools because in the enrolment process for the next year people may apply to more than one school. We have to try to take out the duplicates to find out exactly what is happening and why there is such a surge both on the junior infant side and, we are being told, up along the classes.
