Fri 10 Oct 2008Bishop welcomes common school enrolment policy
THE BISHOP of Killaloe has endorsed a common enrolment policy for Ennis primary schools that he believes will avoid the difficulties in other towns where each school caters for a different social class.
The enrolment policy aims to guarantee 25 per cent of all new places for minorities - Travellers, and foreign nationals.
Dr Willie Walsh said he believed the policy was the first of its type in the country and described it as a significant move.
