I am not really obtaining an answer to my question. What I am trying to get at does not really apply to gaelscoileanna. I understand they are different and that they must have access to much wider catchment areas. I was referring to areas within parishes in which there is high population growth and where there are five or six primary schools. As a result of the fact that these schools have enrolment policies which apply to much wider catchment areas, local children lose out in the lottery and do not gain entry to some of them. Is that fair?
