Dr. Niall Muldoon:

That is probably the essence of it. There is no difficulty with a child going to the school their parent went to if he or she lives in the community and fits all the other criteria but just because the parent went to that school does not give any pre-emptive advantage. From our point of view, that is an automatic disadvantage which Dr. Doyle set out very well. Many groups of children are two steps back because of it, and will be two steps back for the next two generations. Again, it continues. It is very clearly set out. If your parent or grandparent today has not gone to that school, then you will not get into that school, so your child and your grandchild will not get into that school. Straight away four generations are being affected and that is discrimination by its very essence.
