Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I thank the Deputy. I will conclude by saying that the sharing of data has been really helpful. It has indicated that there has been a cross-duplication of applications which have been submitted to a number of schools. The Deputy has already referenced those that are coming into the area from outside.
As regards the specific Athenry-Oranmore local electoral area, between 2017 and 2022 the completion of the building of houses was 2.5 times greater than what had been achieved in the previous five-year period. The spurt in growth that has happened there is quite phenomenal. We are engaging and thanks to the co-operation of the principals the specific number that will be required going forward will become more apparent. We are committed to ensuring we will have those places for September 2024.
