    A bit earlier Joe says 'Do you go to Mass every week?'

    Then she says 'Well, not religiously' :pac:

    If you want your child to be indoctrinated into some religion or other, then do it yourself, why expect a school to do it for you??? Sounds like a good school, don't understand why she isn't happy about the great school she's being offered. Why can't she find a catholic school if it's so important to her :confused:

    when she says a "catholic" school, does she really mean a white school?

    Surely the most important thing is what school is best for your childs education and not what is best for their religion? Silly woman, she sounds like a bigot.

    So much time wasted on Religion and Irish in our Schools. It's no wonder kids don't have basic Grammar and Maths skill going into Secondary.

    I could be wrong but isn't that small minded catholic outlook pretty much a minority view now?

    The sooner all religion is taken out of schools the better.

    "catholic ethos" .....:eek:...we all know what that led to, why this woman or anyone would want to put their child through it is beyond me.

    Joe: Dublin 24, wherever that is?

    Caller: it's Tallaght Joe.


    Did we ever get a better illustration of how far Joe has removed himself from the great unwashed of the general public?!

    That so called 90% catholic Ireland thing is nonsense, most people write it on census out of habit, for instance church attendance in lots of working class areas is around 7%.

    They said it on the frontline last night - mind you it was only said once and then everyone kept quoting it - that this figure of 90% is a 2006 figure from the census, the 2011 figures wont be out for donkeys years apparently
