Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Enrolments (30 Nov 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the fact the Minister is going to publish the parameters, although I am not sure of what. Will that relate to the catchment areas? I realise it is up to the boards of management but very specific issues are arising with huge implications for other policies. The school in question is on the west side of the city and there is a waiting list. Students with different needs, some of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Enrolments (30 Nov 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for clarifying the matter. It is my understanding that the boards of management are free to do what they want with regard to the criteria they set down.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Park-and-Ride Facilities (30 Nov 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I am reluctant to blame a planning system that successive Governments have run down completely. We were in Mayo last week where planning vacancies were pointed out so I am not going down that route. I place the responsibility firmly on the Government. I cannot describe the frustration.
