MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this Committee - noting that Lucan Community College continues to receive a huge amount of applications each year from within its catchment area, far in excess of the maximum permitted number allowable by the Department of Education abillity, causing huge stress on parents and children, most of whom live closer to this school than any other facility; and noting that the school has been seeking to build an extension for the last 10 years - calls on the Minister for Education to take a proactive approach in discussion with officials to sanction and fund the construction of an extension in the very near future, given that this will not in any way impact on attendance levels in other second level schools in the Lucan area as the school going population continues to rise."

REPORT:

If the Motion is approved a letter will issue to the Minister for Education and when a response is received the Committee will be notified.
