The Forward Planning Section of my Department is in the process of analysing all areas in the country in order to determine the level of additional provision which will be required at both primary and post-primary level up to 2017. Overall post-primary requirements in the Swords area will be fully considered in this context.

In addition to this I have recently announced my intention to put in place a new framework in relation to the establishment of new second-level schools and their patronage, whereby an expert Group to be known as the Second-Level Patronage Advisory Group will be established to consider applications for new schools and advise me in relation to those applications, having undertaken survey work of parental views and using the criteria to be set down.
