‹ Order of Business School admissions legislation
Summary
A Deputy seeks early publication of the education admissions Bill because inconsistent school-access practices are distressing families in south Kildare; the Minister calls it priority legislation for this session.
Could I have an update on the education (admission to schools) Bill? School admission is a very significant issue in south Kildare, particularly in the Newbridge and Kilcullen area. Children and parents are very stressed when ease of access to schools is not allowed. Variations in practice are causing considerable distress and I ask that the Bill come forward as soon as possible.
Comment on this
The Deputy is right. It is priority legislation and it is intended to publish it this session.
