Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Remit of Ombudsman for Children in School Complaints: Discussion
1:00 pm
Dr. Niall Muldoon:
In regard to discrimination, our advice submitted on the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill was that we believe all discriminatory elements should be withdrawn from the school setting. We would be very clear that no child should be advantaged going to a public funded school based on their religion or that of their parents. The Deputy and I would be on the same page in that regard.
