I met with representatives of Atheist Ireland earlier this year as part of a structured dialogue between the State and different faith and non-faith based communities and bodies. At the meeting, we held a wide-ranging discussion on many of the topics that Atheist Ireland subsequently raised in its Schools Equality Pact document which was submitted to my Department. Since then, there has been further contact between representatives of Atheist Ireland and officials from my Department regarding these issues and arrangements for follow-up meetings to discuss them are in hand.
