In regard to the John Stokes case, if this rule is removed tomorrow, admissions to schools will not become this remarkable system of fairness overnight. It is still going to involve choice. On what basis does Dr. Doyle think schools should be required to choose their students? Should it be principally on the basis of locality? As Deputy Conway-Walsh said, I am conscious that in England house prices shoot up because houses are adjacent to schools that are much sought after by parents. By what route do we go? Every avenue seems to have potential problems.
