dc.description.abstractThis article attempts to give an overview of the development of multi-denominational schools in the the Republic of Ireland. It looks at the historical development of primary education in Ireland and the general educational context within which primary schools operate in the Republic. It discusses the background to the setting up of multi-denominational schools, identifying the issues faced by the individual schools and their present position. It explains the role and activities of Educate Together - the co-ordinating committee for existing and prospective schools. The article also briefly addresses a number of other related issues - the indirect role which the setting up of these schools has had in encouraging and developing an attitude of self-help and creative enterprise; in developing a sense of community in people who might previously have felt marginalised; in contributing to a more embracing sense of Irish identity; in helping adults as well as children to develop skills in conflict-resolution through having to resolve problems which arise; in helping to develop a sense of democracy; in the empowerment of women. The article concludes by discussing the key problems faced by the sector at this point in its development and by suggesting ways in which the forthcoming White Paper and educational legislation in the Republic might help to overcome these problems.en
