Is there a map of primary schools in Dublin? or would you recommend in D10, D12, D22

Marcin Z

I'm looking to buy a house and I think that a map with primary schools may helps me to choose the better place (most convenient) for my son. I'm pretty aware that most places have schools near by but I think more is better. Once I get that map i can check location of the properties that I put my offer on. Then do some researches on these schools and then Voilà!
The main reason I'm asking for it because I'm considering to buy a nice duplex in Cherry Orchard, D10. I've heard that this part of Ballyfermot and Clondalkin (crossed the M50) has bad reputation. I was wondering, in case of moving there, to send my son somewhere else like D12 or perhaps better parts of Clondakin (south)
I googled it but no satisfactory results came up. I though I may be more lucky in here

Any lead?

Ps. I hope I didn't offend anyone who's living up there! It wasn't my intention at all. If you have great experience with the areas I have mentioned please share I'd be glad to hear something nice about these places

Kind Regards,
Marcin

We live in that area and we've enrolled our children in the educate together schools in Griffeen and Esker, Lucan which are less than 5K away.

Other parents I know send their children to Clondalkin and Ballyfermot.

Thanks Victor. That link you posted is great! map shows exactly what I needed

cheers!

Thanks How Strange. That is a good option considering fact that other schools (I don't consider ballyfermot and clondalkin schools) are in similar distance ie bluebell and longmile rd. I might try the other direction and will check some schools in Lucan.
Thank you for mentioned that!

Non-ET schools generally have a catchment area so they may not accept your enrolment if you're living outside it. ET schools have no catchment.

Thanks Orion. I'm pretty aware of that but I think is worth of trying. In some cases I can use bugus address just to get my son enrolled to certain school and then change it once he gets there (i might tell them we just moved out).
Many school communicate via emails and therefore I should be up to date with enrolment process

Ring the schools and find out which may have room 1st.
Some schools you need to have the kids names down at birth and 14 months old is too late as we learned when we moved house with a 12 month old.
