I am against the one size suits all approach or the notion that there should be a uniform rule which would apply in every case because diversity in education is valuable. I echo Senator Mansergh's comments on the point made by Senator Norris. It was not the Roman Catholic church or the churches in the Republic which sought this provision. When I was Attorney General I was struck by the fact that Northern denominations came to Dublin to argue that, at European level, their rights to denominational education should be preserved. Therefore, it is not simply a matter concerning the legislation of this State. Ireland insisted that EU equality directives should not encroach upon the rights of private denominational education to maintain their own cultural ethos.
