In my opinion: If the answer is divesting, what was the question? [Independent.ie]

At school, we were given maths problems where we were presented with the answer and were told we had to work out what the question was that would provide this answer.
Divesting seems to be somewhat the same. It seems we have been given the answer . . . but what was the question?
If we want to deal with the real challenges in our primary education system, we can't provide the answers and then try to make the questions fit.
Divesting is only the answer, if the only problem is that there are too many Catholic schools and by having less the problem will be resolved.
The challenges in the primary education system, however, are more complex.
A significant amount of Ireland's primary schools are relatively small and provide education to children within a certain parish area.
