Schools Building Projects
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-07
============================================================

Joe O'Brien (GP), Dublin Fingal

I thank Senator Keogan for giving me the opportunity to address this issue. I have laid out the criteria the Department uses for assessment. They are fairly comprehensive on the population side and in the broader context of the school options available. However, I assure the Senator the Department will continue to monitor demographic projections and enrolments in the area to ensure all pupils have access to a school place.
