I passed a document to the Minister of State detailing a survey conducted by parents in north Kildare whose children were being educated through the medium of Irish in seven gaelscoileanna under a system in which secondary schools had been provided in west Dublin in Lucan and Clondalkin. From 2015 that option will no longer be available because full capacity will have been reached in west Dublin. Pupils from six schools or seven rang a sé will have no gaelscoil to go to in 2015. It simply will not be an option for them. The survey demonstrates that there are the numbers, but a decision must be made on a gaelcholáiste in north Kildare.
