Launch of Forum on Patronage and Pluralism

On 19th April 2011, The Minister for Education and Skills, Mr. Ruairi Quinn TD, officially launched the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector.

The members of the independent Advisory Group are Professor John Coolahan (Chair), Dr. Caroline Hussey and Ms. Fionnuala Kilfeather. They will receive and assess views submitted including those of parents, patrons, teachers and the wider community. The Group will then provide the Minister with policy advice within the Terms of Reference of the Forum.

The Minister called for submissions on a number of specific themes:

  • Establishing parental and community demand for diversity
  • Managing the transfer/divesting of patronage
  • Diversity within a school or small number of schools in a locality
