Moving to Maynooth with DDs

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice please. We are moving to Maynooth next year and I'm just trying to get my head around the school enrollment process.

We have 3 DDs, will be 9, 7 & 3 when we move. The plan is to see the school year out in the UK, after a shit year I dont want to pulled them out and away from what they know. I'd rather if we are put into more lock downs or isolations they are somewhere where we know people.

Our youngest turns 4 in August and would be due to start school here in September, but apparently some Irish schools wont take a child unless they turn 4 before June 1st.

My DH is already in Ireland and moving into a house in Maynooth this week. He has said he thinks that we will have to wait until the school application process opens for all 3 girls as they wont be starting school until September, is this the case?

He has also been told to put the girls names down for all the schools just in case?

Dose anyone know exactly how the process works? Also any feedback on the primary schools in Maynooth would be appreciated.

We've been told Maynooth is nice to raise children, it's been hard as we (me & the girls) haven't had a chance to go out and see the place ourselves with Covid.

Also available for AMA on Maynooth. Have raised 2 dc here from newborn to university..., so could help with info on childcare options/commuting/location choices in the town if you’re buying. It’s nice - you will like it. Everything you need & close enough to Dublin. But not too close.

The schools are very good. The new secondary schools will finally open very soon, they are built and ready. (10 years later)
