Provisional results from the 2015/2016 National School Annual Census showing the information requested by the Deputy are shown in the following table. Final figures will be published at the end of June. Further details on individual school class size are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie/en/Publications/Statistics/Data-on-Individual-Schools/. Due to the moveable nature of classes at post-primary level depending on subject choices, class size data are not available at post-primary level.
