    Does that mean I'll have to send my kids to Blakestown?

    Well Blakestown out did Coolmine last year in terms of Leaving Cert results and has a lot of resources, having had family members in Coolmine, Blakestown is not that bad of a choice at all.

    I really feel that people are missing the main thing here!

    We have a new school in the Dublin 15 area. IMO this is a fantastic thing :)

    CCC has far to many kid as it is and they need to put rules in place, what ever way they change the policy there is going to be some people that are not happy.

    LCC is a great school, just because its new do not mean that its not got a great future :) Cos it has

    Im just happy to see another school in the area :)

    I think your right.

    I'd say people are a little nervous of sending their kids to a school with no track record.

    Really is time to get rid of the 'Parish' notion for catchments. It should be done on proximity to the school.

    That only suits if the school is in the middle of the catchment.

    But cant the school just be designated as the middle of the catchment?
    Depending on it's location and proximity to other schools the diameter of it's catchment can be adjusted accordingly.

    While a virtual location makes sense to us. I think that would be a hard sell, for someone seeing one school as they walked to another they couldn't see.

    I don't support religion being used at all but aprently the COI category in CCC accounts for 2/3 puipls annually

    There are probably going to be at least two more secondary schools in D15 in the next 2/3 years and Educate Together have begun campaigning for at least one of these to be and Educate Together secondary school

    I would seriously doubt that. Where did you get that from.

    If you mean "two thirds", I too doubt this.

    A webpage on the school says that it has 175 pupils. At the Riverwood Residents Association meeting on the enrolment policy, someone mentioned that CCC takes 210 pupils per year. That is more that the total enrolment of the COI school.

    So, where did you get that figure?
    Or does "2/3" mean "two or three"?

    Ah 2 or 3 might be true, seems a bit low.

    COI is so small its insignificant to the total numbers. IMO.
