Ms Mai Fanning:

That is a fact and it happens in Wexford town. It works but that concept needs to be standardised. We all appreciate the autonomy of each school but admissions need to be governed. There needs to be more stable guidelines for schools where schools can have that communication or it can be centralised or they can have some sort of process. Taking the area I know, a child can be on the lists of two or three schools in Wexford, on the lists of another two schools in Waterford and, more than likely, on the lists of another couple schools between Enniscorthy and Gorey. They are not only staying within the county but they are going outside of the county as well.
