The Daily Attendance Roll Book records the daily and cumulative attendance of individual pupils at primary level. Schools have an option to use an electronic system for recording the daily attendance of pupils see Circular 0033/2015 . This eliminates the requirement for a hard copy of the roll book. The vast majority of primary schools now use an electronic version of the Roll Book.
Should a school wish to continue with hard copies of roll books they should send an email to: requestrollbooks@education.gov.ie The following should be included in the email:
- school roll number, name, address and contact mobile number.
- quantity of the roll book(s) required.

In accordance with Circular 0028/2013 , where a school uses an electronic system for recording attendance of pupils there is no requirement to also maintain the Daily Attendance Book. However, for schools who wish to continue to maintain this process, this document is available to download below:
