My Department is not involved in the allocation of school places. Enrolment in individual schools is the responsibility of the managerial authority of those schools and my Department does not seek to intervene in decisions made by schools in such matters. My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils seeking places.

From the returns made by schools to my Department in October the number of first years enrolled in post-primary schools in the Lucan area as at 30th September, 2009 were: 60263V St. Joseph's College 150 60264A Coláiste Phádraig, CBS 133 70042L St. Kevins Community College 75 70080T Lucan Community College 143 76065H Coláiste Cois Lífe 68 76097U Adamstown Community College 70

If the Deputy requires enrolment data for any other school the officials of my Department will provide this to her on request.
