School criteria parish/area confusion

Batcheese

My child wants to go to a certain school. We really have a choice of only 2 schools and he really likes this one and his friends are all going there. They have the following admission criteria if oversubscribed which they always are.

1. Siblings of existing pupils

2. Children of staff.

3. Children residing in the local area. By local area we are referring to ... lists a number of towns.

4. Feeder schools.

Typically it's almost filled at criteria 3 with with little spaces left after that.

This is where I'm concerned. Our address is one of the towns in category 3. So eg. Made up.. Grange cross, Mitchelstown, Co. Cork. Is the address. Mitchelstown being one of towns mentioned so I thought all good. But on the form it asks for parish as well. And technically we are not michelstown parish. We are " tramore" parish. But it doesn't mention parish in criteria so am I right in thinking as we have" mitchelstown" address that is mitchelstown area so we are covered in criteria 3. I did ring the school and ask and admin said they were fairly sure they just go by address and not parish but It wasn't totally convincing. I'm going to be worried about this so thought maybe somebody in the know would have an idea how it usually works? It would make the difference between most probably getting in or probably not getting it and is stressing me. We do everything in " mitchelstown" got married here, school here, our lives are totally based here so it would be annoying to miss out over a technicality of barely being in another parish.

You did, so you're not going to get many responses.

You want the Education category:

You don't mention the education level, so there's a choice of Primary or Secondary specific forums in there as appropriate.
