“Claire Thompson so clearly puts it : “it’s not a matter of simply registering. If it were, many of us would have no problem. its the fact that we have to APPLY to register. ie we have to ask their approval to home educate when we don’t need approval or permission. The right to home educate is covered by the constitution. The law is wrongly phrased. You cannot ask for permission for something you have a right to do. Acertaining the provision that home ed families are making is a separate issue.”

“I urge you all, whether home educators or not, to stand in support of Monica, sign the petition here, write to your TDs, email, ring them, do whatever you can or have time for to help us protect the rights of our families.”
