973. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Skills when the patronage selection for the new national school in Stillorgan and Clonskeagh in County Dublin will commence; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37922/15]

As the Deputy will be aware, in February of this year I announced areas where new primary schools would be opening in September 2016 - these being Goatstown/Stillorgan, Drumcondra/Marino (Dublin 1), and Cabra/Phibsborough (Dublin 7).

It is hoped to run the patronage determination process for these new schools shortly.
