My son was offered a place in the 7th classroom and in the 7th clas there is 19 siblings.it is a disgrace asking parent to send their children to different school.I bet you no one in the dept of Education would do it to their children.

I attended this school as a child as did my younger brother, my daughter Holly was given a place in the 7th class only for it to be taken away and told to go to a school on the other side of the town! , its an absolute disgrace. the overcrowding is going to have a serious knock on effect for the next few years if it is not addressed now!

Thanks Darragh, we appreciate the support. There should be plenty about this in the media over the coming days.

Absolutely they do, but some individual in an office who has no clue about swords looked at a map and said Colmcilles is close!!

It's an issue in every school, everywhere. But I remember my own classes here being huge and feeling like there was no time for anyone. I saw it while my brother and cousins went there as well.

This is typical of the lack of educational for such a growing locality..

Surely the people on the ground..teachers, parents know what is needed more than those sitting in an office..?

People who oppose this most likely never had the opportunity to attend Junior Infants thereby strengthening this petition even further.

If you've too many students in one school, too few in the other, move the teacher to where the kids are, not the kids!!!! Simple

4th child refused, siblings in different schools, traffic jams every morning, no more scheme to finance a 2nd year in Montessori, and Holy Family offers the answer ... to be refused by the Department of Education! How loud do we have to shout for them to hear us? Disgraceful!!!

It will be devastating for siblings to be separated

Holy Family is an excellent school and its need for another classroom must be serviced.
