The school planning section of my Department has not been requested to carry out a review of primary education provision in Enniscorthy. However, given that a number of applications have been received for additional accommodation from schools in the town, the school planning section has decided to undertake a review of provision in the area at both primary and post primary level. This review will be undertaken later this year.

The school planning section of my Department has identified Gorey as an area of rapid development and, consequently, it is currently examining the future educational requirements in the area at both primary and post primary level. Factors being considered include population growth, demographic trends, current and projected enrolments, recent and planned housing developments and the capacity of existing schools to meet the demand for places into the future.
