Educate Together Campaign 2007- New Schools for 21st Century Ireland

Thank you for supporting our "New schools for 21st Century Ireland" Campaign. As a result of the campaign, the Department of Education and Science has agreed to give all Patrons a one-off Grant towards opening new schools. This goes a considerable way towards meeting our request that the State, through the Department of Education and Science, takes responsibility for the planning and delivery of new educational infrastructure which provide equality of access to all families, regardless of social, cultural or religious background. There are still many details under negotiation, but we are hopeful that the Department's commitment to funding Patrons in the initial start-up phase is a step in the right direction.
