Parents of children of the first school to be divested are concerned about its future.

The Minister for Education Richard Bruton has said the Government will push ahead with plans to divest patronage of Catholic schools.

Former Education Minister Ruairi Quinn has said Catholic school authorities do not share Archbishop of Dublin Diarmaid Martin's enthusiasm for divestment.

The Education Minister Jan O'Sullivan says she is "not happy" that some children are being baptised just to get into schools.
