Minister Has Four Options To Make School Admission Fairer

The Education Minister Richard Bruton says he has four options to make school admissions fairer in Ireland.

Among them is a complete ban on religion as an entry criterion.

The comments coincide with new figures which show that 1 in 4 parents wouldn't have baptized their child, if they didn't have to for school..

Minister Bruton will announce the full plans for new legislation in the area later today.
