Jonathan O'Brien
Ceist:246. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a child (details supplied) in Dublin 4 has been refused a place in a local school due to the fact that the school has changed the admissions procedure to prioritise access for daughters of past pupils and girls attending Belmont primary school meaning the child does not qualify for a place; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the ability of schools to discriminate against children in this manner puts these children at a massive disadvantage when it comes to securing a school place; that his proposed changes to the admissions system will still allow for discrimination in this manner; the steps he will take to address this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
