The Programme for Government gives a commitment to move towards a more pluralist system of patronage at second level, recognising a wider number of patrons. It is my intention to address this policy over the lifetime of this Government.
I will turn my attention to the issue of patronage at second level in due course and I will consider the role that all patron bodies can play in ensuring our education system caters for a pluralism of choice which reflects the needs of Ireland today and into the future.
