My Department has not carried out an examination as to why all pupils from the designated feeder gaelscoileanna do not continue their second level education through the medium of Irish in the school to which the Deputy refers.

The school in question has been provided to meet the needs of pupils from a wide area including parts of Meath, Dublin and North Kildare who wish to continue their education through the medium of Irish.
