Settle down, class.
…it has emerged that there are not enough school places to cater for the growing number of families seeking an alternative to denominational education across the south of the city.
According to Educate Together CEO Paul Rowe, the Dublin 2, Dublin 4, Dublin 6, Dublin 8 and Dublin 10 areas all need new schools…“Simply put, Dublin city needs more Educate Together schools. Evidence of growing parental demand is undeniable. Our schools and start-up groups are reporting that hundreds of children are being signed up to our already over-subscribed waiting lists.”
Mr Rowe said demand for school places was particularly acute in Dublin 2 and Dublin 8.
