Do we need a centralised admission process for schools?

Do we need to change the way children are allocated school places? A centralised admission process for secondary schools is to be introduced in a number of towns across the country in time for the 2025 school year - is this the best way to assign places? To discuss, guest host Anna Daly is joined by Lucy, a parent from Stillorgan, Eric Nelligan, Assistant Principal at St Munchin's College Limerick, Simon Lewis Principal of Carlow Educate Together and Rachel Harper, Principal of St Patrick's National School in Greystones.
