Richard Bruton: I will reflect on it between now and Report Stage in light of the Deputy's concerns. However, it is the unique identifier. It is the way in which we are able to manage this information. It is pretty important.

Richard Bruton: The schools record it as part of the application. If they are to share those data with another school for the purpose of having a common admissions approach, the currency of sharing is the unique identifier. I will ask that we check-----

Richard Bruton: I will come back to the Deputy given that this concern has been expressed. To meet the Data Commissioner's requirements, it is important we set it out in legislation, as we are doing. By doing it in this way, we provide the protection the public needs. However, if it is unnecessary, I will revert on Report Stage.

- Select Committee on Education and Skills: Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2017)
Richard Bruton: Amendment No. 96 seems okay. We feel the council must have regard to the school that is in the best interests of the child to attend. I have no problem with that in principle. With regard to amendment No. 100, tabled by Deputy Martin, the Bill already provides the council must have regard to the school's ability to accommodate the child. The amendment proposed would reword this to refer...

Richard Bruton: It is not in the grounds for appeal. It is in the issues which will be considered by the council or the agency.

This is just one of a list of issues where the agency will consider it. This is not offering a grounds of...
