Paul Gavan (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for coming in. I am conscious of time. I understand the need for this measure in the current context. As the Minister will be aware, Sinn Féin has a distinct policy calling for the complete separation of church and State. However, we understand that we cannot start from here, so we support this particular move.

However, I want to ask the Minister about a related matter concerning the Employment Equality Act 1998. I refer to section 37, which allows religious schools to discriminate when selecting teachers. This is something we have managed to get rid of in Northern Ireland. Does the Minister have plans to do something similar down here?
