School Admissions
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-03
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I would also like to welcome the Tipperary spina bifida association from my neighbouring county. It is lovely to have the representatives here and I hope they have a great day here in Leinster House with my colleague, Deputy Cahill. I will bring what the Senator has said back to the Minister. The Department has said that the pace of delivery of additional residential development in the Cherrywood area, along with updated enrolment data and demographic data, will be kept under review. This will inform the timing of school requirements in the area. I do take on board what the Senator is saying. Children who attend Gaelscoileanna at primary level who want the opportunity to continue their education in secondary school are the nub of the whole issue. I will certainly bring that back to the Minister.
