I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department recently contacted the school referred to. The school confirmed that it had offered junior infant places, prioritising children from within the schools catchment area. The school also confirmed that following receipt of responses from parents, the school will be in a position to determine the number of additional places that can then be offered.

My Department is liaising with the school in question and will continue to monitor the pupil enrolment position closely in the Swords area.
