‹ Order of Business School admissions legislation
Summary
Charlie McConalogue criticises the Government for shelving the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill and describes it as a failure of the education reform programme.
The Minister for Education and Skills indicated this morning that the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill will not be brought to the Dáil during the Government's term.
