He asked if a site has been identified for a new secondary or primary school.
He said this should be addressed urgently “given the increase in population and further development” there.
According to Kildarfe County Council two sites are zoned for this purpose and “a new school is permitted in principle on either site.”
One of the sites has been “specifically identified for the long-term expansion of the primary school.”
It was also pointed out that the delivery of schools is a function of the Department of Education.
Cllr Clear said both sites are in private ownership and one has been subject of planning applications.
He said a site which had come up for sale near the primary school should have been bought by the Department of Education.
