Teachers have voted for the establishment of a union taskforce on faith formation and school patronage at the Irish National Teachers' Organisation (INTO) annual conference.

Proposing a motion to survey members on their attitudes towards school patronage and faith formation in schools, teacher Tomás O'Reilly urged the room to imagine what it is like for students of a different religion or none.
