The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin has said he was shocked to hear of this first-hand and added that it was a sign of how Irish education remains “marked by inequality”

“Schools and students live within a fractured culture. Schools cannot do everything. However, schools are aware of the difficulties their children experience.

“The school cannot do everything but the school is a vital part of the educational village and is very often the barometer of the physical and emotional needs and deficiencies of children and their challenges.”In relation to inequality in education, he said he regularly sees wonderful schools as well as those under-resourced and in poor condition.

“I think of the situation of children with autism. Their educational needs require an injection of new resources. Traveller children are still at a disadvantage.” “A fractured world requires a culture that integrates, which welcomes each individual to find a critical path of peace and serenity and hope for himself or herself within all the diversity of our world,” he said.

Church wants to own the schools then shouldn’t they be paying for them out of their vast fortunes!!

How does the fact that some children return after the holidays visibly undernourished show inequality in education? Mind boggles.

Take the money out of the church and feed the children pls
