Feargal Magee said the online admissions process will be a great help to parents in the forthcoming application process, which closes on January 31.

“I have completed a ‘dry run’ of the online application process. It is clear and concise and will be of great benefit to busy parents who can complete the form in a matter of minutes.

“The online transport assistance eligibility checker is also a fantastic tool which can inform parents immediately whether they could be eligible for help with home to school transport costs which may be a factor is determining what preferences parents and guardians will choose.”

Parents and guardians should visit www.eani.org.uk to complete the online application form which is available up to the closing date of Thursday January 31.
