Changes in school patronage will be cost-neutral, says Quinn
Any recommendations from the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector, which was formally launched yesterday, could not be implemented if they come at a significant cost, said Mr Quinn.
He predicted that only about 50% of primary schools will be under the patronage of the Catholic Church in the near future, compared with the current 95%. However, he acknowledged the figure would not be 50% in every parish.
