Please find attached requested information. Data provided is collated from the preliminary enrolment data for 2025-2026, which can be found at the link below. Gáelcholaistí are those schools with an Irish classification of "all pupils taught all subjects through Irish".
The preliminary data will be replaced by the final data for 2025-2026 which we expect to publish in June 2026.
