Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2025
341. Deputy Shane Moynihan asked the Minister for Education and Youth the current number of secondary school places, for the Lucan school planning area, by school, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [65183/25]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the availability of places is a matter for each individual school in the context of their Admissions legislation. Enrolment data for previous school years is available on the Department website. Enrolment data for the 2024/25 school year is available on the Departments website at www.gov.ie.
There are 8 secondary schools in the Lucan school planning area. As per my department's analysis of the Lucan school planning area for the 2024/25 academic year, there were more first year places available than 6th class children and 3.84% of first year places were unfilled.
I can assure the Deputy that my department will continue to keep the school place requirements in Lucan school planning area, as with other areas across the country, under review.
