A local councillor says existing schools are at capacity.
There are calls for a new secondary school in a Westmeath town, with existing schools in the area at capacity.
Fianna Fáil Councillor Ken Glynn says the continued growth of Mullingar is leading to waiting lists.
He wants to see a site identified as part of the town's Local Area Plan.
Councillor Glynn says it was an evident problem over a decade ago:
