Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Why would a patron such as the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, which controls 92% of national schools, which the Primate and Archbishop of Dublin has acknowledged to be a legacy of the past that does not represent the geography of the present in sociological terms, get two out of the seven new schools in an area in which University College Galway identified the presence of 33 different nationalities and noted that a multicultural approach was required to accommodate that school? Did the Minister made this decision or did he acquiesce to a decision made by Mr. Murray, the chairman of the commission on school accommodation?
