A review of post primary school provision in the Enniscorthy area is currently at an advanced stage and, when completed, decisions will be taken regarding the future development of post-primary education facilities in the area and officials will be in contact with the relevant schools, as appropriate. My Department is satisfied that, between them, the existing post-primary schools in the centre have adequate accommodation to cater for the demand for places next September.
