A report into the circumstances surrounding the sacking of the principal of a Co Meath gaelscoil earlier this year has recommended that the main churches spell out their attitude to religious education in interdenominational schools.

The Labour Party has called for the reinstatement of the principal of an inter-denominational gaelscoil who was sacked yesterday for refusing to teach the Catholic religion during school hours.

Today’s meeting of the Board of Management of Dunboyne Gaelscoil has ended without a decision being reached on what action should be taken with the suspended principal of the school, Tomás O’Dulaing.

A hearing is to be held this afternoon as to whether the principal of a Co Meath Gaelscoil should be dismissed or re-instated after suspension.
