Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

That is a very sensible suggestion and I assure him it is one we are going to act on. The challenge is the issue of forward planning and better co-ordinating. I see a number of schools with multiple application processes in my constituency and I imagine it is very similar in Kildare. This leads to a child being on many lists. This is not to blame the parents, who are doing their best. Bringing in a centralised application process where there can be clarity far out as to how many children need a place will get a better return on our investment and, much more importantly, provide certainty for children and their parents.
