Deputy Paul Nicholas Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Youth if her Department accepts that the Newcastle/Rathcoole/Saggart/Citywest area is experiencing significant pressure on school place capacity; if she will outline how a projected post-primary demand deficit of 691 places by 2028, as identified in records released under FOI Ref. DES-FOI-2026-0107, will be addressed in circumstances where key permanent school building projects are not expected to be completed until 2027 and 2028; the basis on which departmental projections for primary school intake in the area rely on a "no migration" assumption notwithstanding ongoing population growth and permitted residential development; whether these projections are currently under review; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
