Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2020: Discussion

Ms Áine O'Sullivan:

None of us is good at single word answers. I would again suggest that a collaborative approach is what works best and it has certainly been part of the way the system operates. We have plenty of examples of where it works well. The system behind it needs to be well resourced. We talked about special needs. The SENO piece needs to be well resourced. That is really important. I would suggest that collaboration always wins through.
