Catholic schools to urge radical slowdown in patronage transfer [IrishTimes.com]
- Published: 06 April 2011
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS will express concern today at plans by Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn to transfer half of their schools to other patrons.
The Catholic Schools Partnership (CSP) is to call instead for a slower process where patronage is only considered after the results of pilot studies are assessed.
In a position paper due to be published today, the partnership is expected to stress that the rights of Catholic parents and children must be protected if there is any change in patronage.
