    It's a catholic school with a catholic ethos. If I wanted north Korean education id send them to educate together .

    Well, that's one of the most ignorant comments I've read in a while

    Life ain't always empty.

    It's a school in Ireland paid for by Irish taxpayers. It should be open and inclusive of all kids in Ireland, regardless of religion.

    If you want to go off and fund your own closed-minded cult institution, go ahead.
    The vast majority of tax payers are catholic and we still live in a democracy. despite DES giving parents chance to convert schools from catholic to other ethos very few have chosen to do so.

    Kids in NK go to schools with a socialist ethos, ET schools espouse socialist ideals of equality, am I missing something? To quote little Debbie "treating people equal when they obviously aren't is called communism".

    Kids came home today with no brigid's crosses, asked teacher when went to do second collection and she said they don't do it anymore as its against schools inclusion policy. It's a catholic school!!!

    So I presume when they came home you got stuck into it yourself with them?

    We're going to see more of this in Ireland. It's mad that a fun activity is stopped because some foreigners might not like the Christian symbol of the cross.

    Foreigners? lol

    It's not natural. Equality is a sociological construction.

    Isn't it widely held that the Brigit's Cross predates Christianity in Ireland and is related to the Swastika?

    So she was a Nazi. Bloody Church blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

    But the teachers are expected to plan in advance for an entire class of children?

    Get off your arse and make them yourself with your children.
    Don't be so helpless, expecting school to do everything for you.

    I say bring back the whole panoply of Celtic gods including Brigid! There's been nothing but war and pandemonium since these sands religions have taken hold - away with the lot of them! :D Brigid Abu!

    Yes, it's strange how so many Irish people follow this foreign religion when we have our own gods and goddesses.

    It's a bit like playing cricket instead of hurling;)

    Never said St Brigid blessed clothes
    Obviously your not Irish, so the distinction between st Brigid and Brigid the goddess wouldn't register. Maybe commenting on our cultural history and mythology is something you might avoid. Here is some reading to help educate you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigid

    Laws change so do rights, **** can sometimes be fluid. But human nature hasn't change one iota in 150,000 years. When you scrape away the niceties we are animals with simple animal instincts.
