Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Suzanne Connolly:

I echo what Ms Lynch said. It is about all children having equal aspirations. We do not know how pervasive this issue is but we all share this idea that any child should know that if he or she does not get into a school, it is because he or she has lost a lottery, not because of his or her background.
