My own assessment of it from my own constituency, and I say this with all due respect to Deputy Ó Ríordáin, is that I do not believe there is a desire on the part of parents to perpetuate an elitism by getting their child into the school they went to. The issue is that parents want to get their child into what they perceive as the best local school, and it can irritate them if others are gaining access to that school because of their family connection.
