Mr. Martin Hanevy:

It is a Catholic ethos school and it is entitled to refer to that ethos, as is a Protestant school. It moves through its criteria for oversubscription and it made a change about one of the schools. That is the autonomy question and the Minister is not proposing to be hands-on in every field. Whether the remedy for that is a discussion between the interested parties, schools are being given a choice to cascade people where they are oversubscribed. Where they are under-subscribed, they have no choice and that includes a gaelscoil taking on someone who does not meet the language test but who wants to go there. In the case of oversubscription, patrons have autonomy except on a limited number of criteria.
