Schools and College Sites – 1.3.19: It is the policy of this Council to review the need for new primary school and second-level school sites in the Lucan, Palmerstown, Clondalkin, Newcastle, Rathcoole, Saggart and Brittas areas, particularly given the changes in populations in these communities, and that this Council will set aside sites for these schools in the next County Development Plan 2010 – 2016.
