Two new primary schools opened in the area to which the Deputy refers in September 2013. Both of these schools will comprise 16 classrooms when fully developed. There are no plans for further new primary schools for the area at this time though this is kept under review.

My Department is currently carrying out a nationwide demographic exercise to determine where additional post-primary school accommodation might be needed from 2017 onwards. This will include an examination of the Ballycullen/Firhouse/Oldcourt area. On foot of this review, arrangements will be made to provide additional post-primary accommodation where this is needed.
