The Government gave approval last week for drafting the Education (Admissions to Schools) Bill 2014. This new legislation aims to ensure that the enrolment process in all primary and post-primary schools is inclusive, transparent and fair.

The General Scheme has since been referred to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel by the Government with a request to commence drafting as soon as possible.
