However, Senator Pauline O' Reilly says the school was forced to implement a reduced intake for next year due to a lack of space.

Addressing the Seanad this week, she argued that the lack of buildings impacts on multi-denominational schools to a greater degree, as they tend to be newer schools.

Green Party Senator O' Reilly said there is now great uncertainty for the school and its students.
