ITEM NO. 23
ST. JOSEPHS SECONDARY SCHOOL. AI047441
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
“To ask the Chief Executive if the new site zoned for St. Josephs Secondary
School has been proofed number wise, for both the existing Primary
School numbers in the National Schools in Rush and surrounding areas,
as well as potential students arising from new and potential housing
developments in Rush”
Reply:
The designation of a post primary site at Kenure has been provided in the
context of the preparation of the Kenure Rush LAP. This site is formally
designated for Community Infrastructure and post primary school
accommodation in the FDP 2017-2023. The designation of the site at
Kenure was based on school pupil projections published in an Area
Development Plan for North Dublin by The Commission on School
Accomodation (DoES). The Kenure site is adequately sized to
accommodate projected school pupil growth both within Rush and
hinterland.
