This multi-contributory work examines the issues of patronage of Irish schools and the options and decisions around sending children to Catholic schools. The contributors reflect the many perspectives on this debate. They include a parent, a former primary school principal, an academic and a primary Diocesan Advisor, along with Amalee Meehan from education trust CEIST, and Baroness Nuala O'Loan. With an introduction by Michael Drumm, chairperson of the Catholic Schools' Partnership, this book is essential reading for parents who wish to understand more about what a Catholic school can offer.
