Hanafin should invest in faith schools only

GIVEN the importance of a rounded education, it was unbelievable to hear the puerile comments from Education Minister Mary Hanafin in a number of recent interviews on the subject.

The minister proudly announced that she would be bringing forward proposals to cater for the educational needs of those of all religions and of none.

These puerile soundbites may sound trendy and ‘sophisticated’ in RTÉ interviews.
