EDUCATE TOGETHER IS applying for patronage of four new national schools that are due to open in 2017 and 2018.
The schools are in Cork and Dublin where Educate Together says it has been calling on the government to increase the supply of its schools for many years.
The schools are in the following areas:
School patrons, including Educate Together, are being asked to provide evidence of parental demand when making an application for each new school.
The closing date for submitting applications, including evidence of parental preference, is Wednesday 4 January 2017.
Communications manager with Educate Together Luke O’Shaughnessy told TheJournal.ie, “It’s quite soon, especially with the holidays coming up, but we’ve had groups on the ground in these areas for a quite a while now.”
“Each area is different but we have very active start up groups in Cork and Dublin in general.”
O’Shaughnessy said applying for patronage is a dual process, “We fill in an application form and that’s backed up by a list of expressions of interest from parents.
“The Department then looks at what schools are currently in the area and checks if there’s a need for another type of school. They also take language into consideration, so if parents want an English or Irish language school.”
New Schools Programme Manager for Educate Together Adelaide Nic Chárthaigh said:
Simply put, both Cork and Dublin need more Educate Together national schools. The existing schools in both cities are reporting that hundreds of children’s names are being signed up to already over-subscribed waiting lists.
“This is great news for parents in these areas of Cork and Dublin who have been seeking equality-based Educate Together schools for their children.”

It’s all about known your clients needs like the number 13 is lucky in china, chrysanthemum in Italy are associated with loss and sadness and laundering a drug cartels money is traditional in Mexico, HSBC taking you places. Now that’s customer service!!
Number 8 is lucky in china… Obviously ads don’t work all the time ;-)
Number 9 is the most sought after number for people of Chinese extraction in Thailand,as 9 is the luckiest of all Chinese numbers.
It’s Lord Green, not Brown.
Quite right!
To maintain stability fiat currency systems require constant monetary expansion. To facilate constant monetary expansion bankers need a constantly expanding portfolio of products and enterprises to invest in. Initially, they can invest in proprietary areas, but ultimately end up investing in dodgy derivatives and Mexican banks. Where possible politicans, central bankers and regulators will turn a blind eye.
” Today’s worldwide paper-, or “fiat-,” money regime is an economically and socially destructive scheme — with far-reaching and seriously harmful economic and societal consequences, effects that extend beyond what most people would imagine.
Fiat money is inflationary; it benefits a few at the expense of many others; it causes boom-and-bust cycles; it leads to overindebtedness; it corrupts society’s morals; and it will ultimately end in a depression on a grand scale.”

Jaysus what next!?
By the time my grandson is 40, there will be a world of over 10 Billion people. Is Market capitalism really the most appropriate system for such an immense amount of people? Surely this system will lead only to wars, disease, famine…the horsemen of the apocalypse….. When shall we start thinking of a new system to protect and not destroy humanity?
have your say
