This is the same response I have been getting for three years. The only difference is that Éiru Community College is now a 1,000-pupil school, which is great, instead of an 800-pupil school. We now have fourth year students who started in the Blanchardstown community centre in 2020 and are now sharing a site in Hansfield with Hansfield Educate Together Secondary School. The question everyone wants and needs to know the answer to is where the permanent site be for Éiru Community College will be. This will impact on all the things the Minister of State outlined, such as duplication of applications, parental and student choice and pressures on other schools in the area for the parents and students who want to know where the home of this school will be. It impacts on decisions, as brilliant as the school is, about admissions. It needs to be balanced out.
