Parliamentary Question addressed to the Minister for Education and Science

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the planned
post primary school in the Stepaside area in County Dublin; and if he will make
a statement on the matter.

Reply (Minister Ruairí Quinn)

Two new post primary schools are planned for Stepaside. The first is a
Gaelcholáiste to serve the general Ballinteer/Stepaside area and this will
commence operation in 2014 under the patronage of An Foras Pátrúnachta na
Scoileanna Lán Ghaeilge. The second is an English medium post primary school
which is due to open in 2016. The application process for patronage of this
school is currently underway. The closing date for receipt of applications is
12 July 2013.
