Feeder schools - a postscript

The feeder school list, published on this day last week detailing the main feeder schools for over 700 schools, was compiled from 31 separate applications under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act.

Some of the figures for students progressing to the University of Limerick (UL) were incomplete, due to an inputting error in the editing process.

As a result, some schools did not receive due credit. The figures - which include the main feeder schools for UL - have been incorporated in the revised lists on this page.

The full list of all feeder schools which sent students to UL in 2005 is available in the eduction section on ireland.com
