Are members happy that we have exhausted this topic or do they have further questions to ask? It was informative to listen to the delegates. I take the point that in the context of things changing, it is a messy business. That is what is in prospect until there is a change. It seems there are fewer applications for the patronage of new schools by bodies other than the Education and Training Boards and Educate Together. It seems the religious patron bodies are consolidating. Am I correct in saying that is what the delegates were saying?
