We are hearing reports of heated exchanges at meetings on a divestment programme involving North Dublin Schools in Raheny. Join us in Raheny where parents give their honest view on what they want for the future their kids schools. @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT

oireachtas.ie/en/debates/que… The situation in KRC where all secondary schools are religious, where boys and girls attend separately and where two out of three boys leave the area for secondary, compared to only one in five girls, at least deserves to be addressed by the Minister.

Many thanks to @OCallaghanCian for raising the issue of the need for a non religious, coeducational secondary school in the Killester Raheny Clontarf area. The Minister completely ignores the questions in her reply so we’ll keep demanding action oireachtas.ie/en/debates/que…

Many thanks to Cian O’Callaghan TD for this excellent contribution in the Dáil yesterday in support of a coeducational non-denominational secondary school for the Killester Raheny Clontarf area. Let’s keep up the pressure! fb.watch/efPJCjQiMN/

I emailed @Education_Ire in February with a very simple question about how much rent is being paid to the Catholic Church for schools that reconfigure to the ETB. Despite a couple of reminders, there has been no response. I'm not sure why this is such a secret? #edchatie

Teachers in Ireland have to campaign for fact-based sex education in our schools. Think about that. It’s 2022 and the Catholic Church dominates the Irish education system. We need a non-denominational, coeducational secondary school for Killester Raheny Clontarf.
Primary school teachers have instructed their union to campaign for the introduction of fact-based relationship and sexuality education in schools

David said "when push came to shove, parents in Malahide were opposed to divestment". I was there - parents who asked to hear directly from multi-d patrons were told 'No'. It was a scaremongering/misinformation exercise. Here are 2 slides that were shown about "What we may lose".

Teacher @colmjoconnor writes in the @irishexaminer that religious influence on our publicly funded schools and hospitals is often defended due to the high numbers who declare themselves as Catholics in the census… bit.ly/3LE9vzZ #Census2022 #edchatie #equalrespect

Dear census writer for next census...
I updated your religious question to make it clear for people what it means when you tick the religion box for schools. You're welcome..

Over 1,200 parents of more than 2,300 pre-secondary school children living in the Killester Raheny Clontarf area responded to the survey. Only 5% want a church-run, single-sex school for their kids. Yet that’s almost certainly what they’re going to get if things don’t change.

#Census2022 offers an important opportunity to remind the State of the growing disconnect between Irish schools and Irish society.
Education Equality encourages those who do not practise a religion, or who are not religious, to mark ‘No Religion’ on their Census form on April 3

We look forward to finding out more about the reconfiguration plan & welcome any opportunity to increase availability of state, multi-denominational education through the provision of Community National Schools @ETBIreland @TipperaryETB @stmarysjuniorb2
School patronage agreement could lead to greater choice for families
