My Department recently carried out parental surveys on primary school patronage in five pilot areas, namely Arklow, Castlebar, Tramore, Trim and Whitehall (including Beaumont and Kilmore West).
My Department is preparing a detailed report on the surveys which will be reviewed by the New Schools Establishment Group. When the analysis is finalised, and drawing on feedback from the patron bodies, consideration will be given to any appropriate modifications in implementing the surveys in the remainder of the identified 44 survey areas.
