We have campaigned since 2014 for secular education in Ireland. We learned that the leases of National Schools are quite secular, so that only the religion of the Trustees of each school marks the school as connected to a religion.
On Friday 20 November 2015 we have organised a public meeting
“Human Rights in Access to Education”
City Library, The Granary, Michael Street, Limerick
at 19:45.
This meeting is to continue to make people aware that the present set of schools discriminates against some children (mostly, those of the smaller religious groups and those with no religion); and the segregated schools infringes the rights of all children to grow up knowing all the children in their district (and thus in their society), and in some cases makes it harder for them to understand certain other people with whom they did not mix while at school.
The meeting is open to all people.
Here is some of our campaign so far on secular education and abolishing segregation and discrimination.
