My Department has recently completed a nationwide demographic exercise to determine where additional post-primary school accommodation might be needed from 2017 onwards. This comprised all areas of the country, including Swords. I will announce the details of new schools to be provided arising from this exercise in due course.
Where new schools are to be established, my Department runs an open patronage determination process to determine who will operate the schools. It is open to all patrons and prospective patrons to apply under this process.
