MINISTER FOR Education Mary Coughlan said she hoped to see the Catholic Church divesting itself of some its schools on a trial basis.
She recalled the issue was originally raised by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin in the context of the overall number of primary schools in his Dublin archdiocese.
“I am hopeful that the outcome of the discussions with the Catholic Church will lead to the trialling of divesting arrangements and we can then learn from this,” Ms Coughlan added. “It may be that it is successful in some areas and may not work in others.”
