@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.
@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
@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
@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?
@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
@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.
