It sounds like an unmitigated disaster for the kids and Eire.
Eire is an unmittigated disaster from the outset of independance

Tell me, has the ROI got to grips with 'multiculturalism'* or is it just being ignored by the powers that be?
usual knee jerk short term fixes with a very large measure of ignoring .

But anyway on education , there is a primary school at the bottom of the road , it gives good education results , it gets extra funding and very big grant assistance .
Unlike the schools in Balbriggan it didn't close this septembers registration back in february (which is quite late really) it closed it about two and a half years ago , it doesn't matter what your religeon is if you apply , it has no nationality or colour code , this years new class intake is over 30% of african extraction , they knew to get their kids registered in time if they wanted to go to that school
The only condition it places on admittance is that you don't have your kids taught English at school .
