Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I thank the Deputy for his question. There are approximately 214 school planning areas in the country. The Department uses a geographical information system in order to determine capacity and where schools are required. It also monitors the increasing demographics in certain areas. We are acutely aware of the challenges relating to Dublin 8, including an increasing demographic. I will bring the matter to the attention of the Minister, Deputy Foley, and the Department. It can be taken further from there.
