Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

It is an important issue. The idea of any child being othered in any school on the basis of their own wishes and choices, and those of their parents, on the education they access is not appropriate. I know the Minister, Deputy McEntee, would share that view. I will talk to the Minister about where her mind is at with regard to a circular. It certainly sounds sensible to have some degree of clarity and consistency and ensure what is meant to be in place is actually happening in the school community. I will ask the Minister to talk with the Deputy directly and I am sure she will have a look at it.
