Richard Bruton backs schools’ treatment of religion
Education Minister Richard Bruton has backed how the teaching of religion is treated in state-controlled primary schools, but said some changes could help improve the inclusivity of their approach.
His personal endorsement of the community national school (CNS) system, under which 11 primary schools are currently managed by local education and training boards (ETBs), comes amid growing competition between them and Educate Together to open new schools in areas of increasing population.
