Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

School Transport Scheme: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Sarah Heneghan:

They would fall into the same denomination in relation to the scheme.

They are not seen as being any different. If a person wishes to bypass a Catholic school to go to an Educate Together school, they can do so. Similarly, if people wish to bypass an Irish-speaking school to go to an English-speaking school, or vice versa, they can do so. Educate Together community national schools are deemed as being under the same ethos, however.
