The Minister for Education has announced that a new Secondary school will be built in Greystones before 2017. The population expanded rapidly and there will be a shortage of places soon, so I am glad that the Minister has now recognised this. The site is owned by the Department and is close to Lidl.
No Patron has been announced but I want to see an Educate Together School as this has the best chance of getting pupils to study in Greystones. Greystones is unusual as 60% of pupils go outside the town for education. The Educate Together Group has expressions of interest from 800 prospective pupils.
