Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Whitmore for raising this issue that she raises regularly, as she rightly should. It is a stressful issue for people in Greystones, for parents and specifically for the young people who are wondering what the name of their school will be. I spoke with a school principal in Greystones about this yesterday and to the Minister for Education directly today. We need an urgent update. The Minister shares that view and I will be using my offices to help to bring about clarity and certainty for students in our constituency and, as Taoiseach, for any student in the country who is not yet sure of a secondary school place. I am happy to talk to Deputy Whitmore directly about it.
