The Department has examined current capacity in existing primary and post-primary schools in the context of the proposed Tallaght Town Centre development. Arising from this, a submission has been made to the local authority on estimated school site and school requirements for inclusion in the local area plan. The Department has requested that two sites be reserved for the provision of four additional primary schools. Owing to the level of spare capacity in existing Post-Primary schools in the area, the Department is not proposing additional post-primary provision at this time.
