‹ Order of Business Schools enrolment legislation
Summary
Deputy Martin Heydon raises concerns about unfair school-enrolment waiting lists and fees; the Taoiseach says he will provide an update on the Minister’s proposals.
I refer to the schools enrolment Bill and, in particular, my concerns about a lack of openness and equity across the system where fees and the date of application determine the position of pupils on waiting lists for enrolment. This leads to cherry-picking in some cases.
