- Published: 14 July 2010
KILDARE VEC has apologised for an error in its application form for a new Naas primary school following concerns raised by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
The Office wrote to Kildare VEC this month outlining concerns over a request for information on prospective students' religion. This was sought from parents applying to the new Naas Community National School. The school is due to open this September.
The form also stated that this information may be shared with other local primary schools.
