Jennifer Horgan: Faith segregation in schools keeps children out of their communities

Reconfiguring schools, turning Catholic schools into multi-denominational schools, will result in children believing they are different to other children, when they are not so different at all

Most of the schools in Ireland are still Catholic so  some children have no choice whatsoever but to leave their local communities in order to be educated.

My friend didn’t notice that the kids in our local playground were calling out her daughter’s name as we approached it. I imagine it has happened dozens of times before.

So, she also didn’t notice that nobody was calling out my daughter’s name.
