More coverage on @NewstalkFM this morning - have you been impacted by the policy change to remove sibling priority in Catholic schools? We want to hear your story. #siblingstogether
The mother of a child, who was refused a place where her siblings went to school, says her daughter 'will be outside on the first day of term whether she's been offered a space or not'. @NTBreakfast

Still no response from Dublin archdiocese @DublinDiocese who seemingly won't listen to parents concerns on this policy change
As @josephamadigan and @CarrollJennifer and @nealerichmond have all done on behalf of their worried constituents, why not write to the Dublin Archdiocese to explain the real impact of the removal of sibling priority: communications@dublindiocese.ie
#siblingstogether
Thank you for adding your voice to ours @CarrollJennifer - we are doing the same and encourage all concerned or impacted to do the same. #siblingstogether
It’s a mucky and miserable morning out there, imagine what it would be like dropping your children to multiple schools in weather like this? Let us know how the admission policy changes impact you! #siblingstogether

Today @IrishTimes: school oversubscription is a huge issue in south Dublin. This will be exacerbated by the removal of sibling priority in many schools. Who will support parents in what has already been a hugely challenging year? @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD #siblingstogether
Schools in the south Dublin area are among the most heavily oversubscribed in the country, according to enrollment data published for the first time. irishtimes.com/news/educatio…

We agree @LryanEnergy - using age before sibling status within catchment makes no sense. #siblingstogether
Thank you for your support @josephamadigan
Are parents' voices being heard?
