Ms Saoirse Brady:

Ben summed it up very eloquently. Really, it is about respect in schools for everyone. We have to think about what human rights and equality really means. As long as people are adhering to that, that is the important thing. It can happen in a faith-based school as well as a non-denominational or multi-denominational school. We have such a reliance on faith-based schools in the system, because they do make up the majority of primary schools in particular, different people are in them because all of society is represented in those schools, which we have to acknowledge. If there is consistency around some of the teaching in those schools, particularly around some of those issues such as relationships and sexuality education for example, as long as it is factually and scientifically based, we are all on solid ground here.
