@sineadcall @aarconx @HenryMcKean @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT I am not aware of any children leaving the campus. I really can't speak more plainly than I have done.

@BMartin36252110 @HenryMcKean @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT Not oversubscribed everyone who wanted a place got a place. Places available after term started too. They even had after-school places available - a major incentive! really fantastic to have this new multi d school as an option for those not happy with the current setup.

@BMartin36252110 @HenryMcKean @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT Not oversubscribed, in fact had places available after school term had started...also trying to drum up numbers on their Twitter page

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@sineadcall @HenryMcKean @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT No one is telling anyone to go somewhere else - the point is that there are options for all.

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@sineadcall @HenryMcKean @NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT MAX 20min walk. Everyone in Raheny has options to go to school with neighbours and friends.

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@DavidAMRyan @PatKennyNT Completely agree with this. It was a very one sided inaccurate discussion. There are multiple multi d options currently within walking distance of Raheny, some undersubscribed. @NormaFoleyTD1 and @Education_irl need to focus on communities that do not have choice

@BrianCa78562633 @DeeDeelicious73 @coco33770806 @Linslf People are stating hard facts and issues with the process and advocates can't handle it, unlike you they can't see that this is process is not the right one to bring about change. They need to grow a backbone and own what they asked for

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@BrianCa78562633 @DeeDeelicious73 @coco33770806 @Linslf Uptake on Divestment is so poor because it's been very badly managed as we have all seen. No parent with their children as their primary interest would write to the an archdiocese requesting this process as it's fraught with huge risks in its current form

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@BrianCa78562633 @DeeDeelicious73 @coco33770806 @Linslf I believe the written communication from the school.

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@BrianCa78562633 @DeeDeelicious73 @coco33770806 @Linslf One of the schools wrote to parents with the information. A small group of parents on Raheny co ed have been incessantly plauging everyone including politicians over the past few months so yes I do believe they instigated this process.

@BrianCa78562633 @DeeDeelicious73 @coco33770806 @Linslf https://t.co/0czDj0aMYT. Raheny Killester Educate Together is such a school, it's 25min walk from Raheny village with avails, there's another such school 20min walk the other direction. If you believe you have the answers why keep asking the question?

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@BrianCa78562633 @DeeDeelicious73 @coco33770806 @Linslf Parents were informed that representations were made by a group of parents to the DOE, the Education Secretariat in Archbishop’s Hse & ETB with a view to reconfiguring the schools. The reality is they pushed an open door..uptake on the pilot is poor, DOE happy to engage

@RahenyCoEd @dublindiocese @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 @sean_haughey @RichardbrutonTD @AodhanORiordain @OCallaghanCian The results of the properly regulated survey of parents of children in Scoil Aine beg to differ….83% of responses against divestment - a true reflection of what parents really want for their children’s education - Raheny has spoken!

@DavidAMRyan @Siobhan_Nugent @FitzpatrickOrla @RahenyCoEd @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 @sean_haughey @AodhanORiordain @OCallaghanCian @RichardbrutonTD @DMitchellTD Scoil Aine parents surveyed on divestment. 83% said no to divestment,17% yes.
Worth noting votes were opened and papers counted in the presence of our Community Garda today. Good to know it was all done with full transparency.

[Helen Connor @helenconnor16]

@RahenyCoEd @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 @sean_haughey @AodhanORiordain @OCallaghanCian @RichardbrutonTD @DMitchellTD It's very evident after the 3 schools have concluded their meetings with parents, that divestment is neither wanted or needed in Naíscoil Ide, Scoil Aine & Scoil Assaim. Why are we still in the pilot scheme when we do not meet the criteria as set out by @NormaFoleyTD1 in March.

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@fitob09 @FrankFeighan @NormaFoleyTD1 @AodhanORiordain As was pointed out by another parent: DOE stated that there will be no divestment without agreement of Board of Mgt. Staff & Parents. The BOM & Staff have been clear they are not in favour, yet it is still proceeding for a 'room temperature check'. That is not a consultation.

[Orla Fitzpatrick @FitzpatrickOrla]

@helenconnor16 @sineadcall @RahenyCoEd The Raheny Killester Clontarf one is also 20min walk the opposite direction of Raheny village..so many options
