Patrick Costello (GP), Dublin South-Central

I raise the issue of school provision in Dublin South-Central. While the small increase in variety with Synge Street becoming a Gaelcholáiste has been welcome, there is still no Gaelcholáiste for Dublin 10 or Dublin 12 and no non-denominational, non-religious school for Dublin 8.
These issues need to be fixed and the Department of Education has quite frankly been opaque and contradictory in its response to this. Something needs to change in the process of planning schools. Dublin South-Central is suffering severely from a lack of options and a lack of places that the Department is not willing to address.
