The criteria for the recognition of new schools specifies that a patron must confirm willingness to enrol children from the area for which the Department has identified the need for the school. In this regard, the school referred to by the Deputy was established to help meet the demographic increases in the general Dublin 2 and Dublin 4 areas. The reason for this requirement in the criteria is to ensure that children for whom the school was set up can have access to a school place and that they will not be displaced by pupils from outside the area.
