As the Deputy is aware, the progression of a number of school building projects in Wexford, including Loreto Secondary School and Wexford C.B.S, as part of my Department's School Capital Investment Programme, will provide for increased capacity in the area.

My Department continues to closely monitor the position in the Wexford area, taking into account the latest pupil enrolment data, the impact of planned expansion of school capacity and developments in the adjacent school planning areas. In that regard, my Department will be in contact with post-primary schools in the Wexford Town area as part of this process.
