    We've paid for the school buildings and the teachers to run them. My vote in the General Election will go to a party that is committed to CPO of all school premises. All costs of restitution of the abused, plus reimbursement (adjusted to present day values) of the moneys paid by the State to the orders, to be subtracted from anything paid.

    Is this Mr Ruari Quinn a practising Catholic? If not, it is none of his business who takes over Catholic schools.

    They are honest in the sense that they have an open agenda rather than a hidden one in relation to who controls the schools and for what end.

    Aggressive Secularists like yourself wish to exercise control and have power in their hands every bit as much as the Religious.

    Trouble is the Anti Religious ones will lie through their teeth about their motives!
    The agenda of such groups as Educate Together is not anti-religious.

    Educate Together aims to provide choice for parents and children and aims to run schools where there's an atmosphere of respect for children who are members of all religions and none.

    They're very open about those aims:

    Open? Since when has any religious order in Ireland been open?

    Whether he admitted that or not, it is open and honest of you to admit that control and power is the objective of the Religious.
