Parents concerned about schools under the patronage of the Archdiocese of Dublin removing sibling priority in their admission policies. #siblingstogether

[Dublin Siblings Together @D14Siblings]

More coverage on @NewstalkFM this morning - have you been impacted by the policy change to remove sibling priority in Catholic schools? We want to hear your story. #siblingstogether

[NewstalkFM @NewstalkFM]

The mother of a child, who was refused a place where her siblings went to school, says her daughter 'will be outside on the first day of term whether she's been offered a space or not'. @NTBreakfast

Still no response from Dublin archdiocese @DublinDiocese who seemingly won't listen to parents concerns on this policy change

[Dublin Siblings Together @D14Siblings]

As @josephamadigan and @CarrollJennifer and @nealerichmond have all done on behalf of their worried constituents, why not write to the Dublin Archdiocese to explain the real impact of the removal of sibling priority: [email protected]

Thank you for adding your voice to ours @CarrollJennifer - we are doing the same and encourage all concerned or impacted to do the same. #siblingstogether

[Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD @CarrollJennifer]

I am concerned about the impact a change to the sibling-first admission policy will have on families. I wrote to the Archdiocese of Dublin and called on them to reconsider their change to the policy, and would urge others to do so as well on [email protected].

@rodericogorman parents in your constituency and across Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare, Wexford, Carlow and Laois are keen to hear you views on the removal of sibling policy in some Dublin schools: will you help us have our voices heard? #siblingstogether

[Dublin Siblings Together @D14Siblings]

@rodericogorman do you support the removal of sibling priority in some Dublin schools, a huge number of which are oversubscribed, leading to family, local and school community disruption? #siblingstogether

It’s a mucky and miserable morning out there, imagine what it would be like dropping your children to multiple schools in weather like this? Let us know how the admission policy changes impact you! #siblingstogether

This article in The Greystones Guide highlights many of our shared concerns: separating siblings, family disruption, stress, cost, loss of strong sense of family in school community and the environmental impact of increased traffic https://t.co/PKnP5zfL1o #siblingstogether

@roisinanna @carlobrien @IrishTimes Thanks for your support Roisin and for sharing your views. It is important that all our voices are heard.

Are parents' voices being heard?

Today @IrishTimes: school oversubscription is a huge issue in south Dublin. This will be exacerbated by the removal of sibling priority in many schools. Who will support parents in what has already been a hugely challenging year? @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD #siblingstogether

[The Irish Times @IrishTimes]

Schools in the south Dublin area are among the most heavily oversubscribed in the country, according to enrollment data published for the first time. https://t.co/bD2KtIxJyH

@Taraghalaieny @TaneyResi @clonskeagh_ @GoatstownD14 @RosemountRes We agree @Taraghalaieny - as well as splitting families this change will exacerbate the current issue of oversubscription, making the application process more difficult for parents and for schools. #siblingstogether

[Dublin Siblings Together @D14Siblings]

@clonskeagh_ @GoatstownD14 @RosemountRes @TaneyResi Are parents aware of the changes to the admission policies in local schools and the potential for family, local community and school community as a result? #siblingstogether

@RTE_PrimeTime in a year when people, families and communities have experienced severe disruption and hardship, would your viewership be interested in this issue impacting ~400 catholic schools in Ireland? #sibingstogether

@NPCprimary do you support the removal of sibling priority in some Dublin schools? Can you justify siblings being split between multiple schools? #siblingstogether
