Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

There are 15 second level schools in Kildare North. Almost all of them are completely full. There has been substantial growth in the population but school places have lagged badly behind. This year, it is worse than ever. There is panic among parents and students are understandably upset. Parents do not want reassurance from the Minister; they want to know how and where accommodation is going to be provided. They want a comprehensive overview of that. They know the situation on the ground. They have had multiple refusals and no offer of accommodation in a school. They will not accept home schooling. We want a comprehensive response for the whole of the Kildare North constituency rather than piecemeal responses.
