Atheist Ireland is taking a case to the courts in relation to the education system. Here’s the background.
We have campaigned vigorously for years to change the education system. We have sent submissions to various bodies, lobbied politicians, met the Department of Education, and attended Ireland’s examination under various UN treaties.
We have done all we can to bring about change through these measures, but the slow progress is not satisfactory for families who continue to endure disrespect and discrimination in the education system.
The Law Library has now accepted us to take a court case through its Voluntary Assistance Scheme (VAS). We have a legal team in place and have met with a solicitor with an excellent track record on human rights cases.
