Never mind Brady, Martin's resignation is the one that really matters.

[Half Nelson]

A conglomeration of parents, teaching staff and a thoroughly reformed Dept of Ed and Science, supervised by legislation enacted by the Dáil.

I see no reason to involve either the Gardaí or the judiciary directly at any level of the Education system.

We don't have a thoroughly reformed DoEd, nor do we have the necessary legislation, so you don't propose an alternative to the RCC. You're living in the land of 'If Only', where empty arguments abound.

Sigh!

I'm answering your question HN. If we had the necessary legislation I wouldn't need to do so. If the DofEd were already thoroughly reformed it is very likely that little or no legislation would be required.

There is a general election due soon. After that there will be a new Dáil.

As you know, there is currently little sympathy amongst voters for continuing with the status quo in education.

This last statement is not does not come from the land of "If only". It comes from 2010 Ireland.
