Education in Ireland 2024

Finding a School Place Parents are responsible for finding a school place for their child. When parents need to find a new school for their child sometimes they may have to look a little further away than the nearest local schools. This link is to the Department of Education “Find a School” https://www.education.ie/en/find-a-school Parents need to look at where they live, where they have to travel to for work, and the different means of transport in their area to see what options are practicable for them. Applying for schools further away from your home than your local schools When the schools nearest you are full and unable to offer you a school place for your child, you need to keep trying the next nearest schools until you find one that can offer you a suitable school place.
