To clarify, because I would have made this point at the previous meeting, I do not favour a model of Catholic education. I favour a model of State multidenominational education. However, I suppose it is just in terms of how things work out in practice, that it is not just the birth certificate requirement as being the only discrimination. First come, first served is another one. I should clarify that while they are inclusive, I am not stating that I agree with that model.
