If the catholic school is okay with it. But Islamic values should not be imposed on Catholic schools.

 @9KZK7D5answered…1wk1W

Catholic schools should not exist in the first place. School is about education, not indoctrination.

 @9KC2MMCSocial Democratsanswered…1mo1MO

Religion should not be part of our education system at all. All schools should be Educate Together with freedom to express / practice religion.

 @9KBSZRWFianna Fáilanswered…1mo1MO

No, the niqab and burka are a symbol of female oppression. Ireland is a progressive nation and anyone who lives here, will abide by our progressive laws. If anyone feels as if they do not agree, they can reside elsewhere.

 @9K486Y8answered…1mo1MO

If it was the other way around we would have to adhere to their rules and customs, so I do not agree that they should be allowed.

 @9JQRYLDanswered…2mos2MO

No, all students should adhere to their school's uniform policy unless exceptions have been made by individual school boards

 @9JNZJ3KSinn Féinanswered…2mos2MO

I think that a person can choose his own religion and demonstrate it as long as it does not affect other religions and other people. However, I am categorically against this being allowed in schools, or if there are such schools, they should be emphatically religious for the given religion. I don't think it is right to divide people into Christians, Muslims, Buddhists or others. They should not be divided into white, black, red, yellow, or others, because no matter what religion a person professes or what the color of his skin is, we are all human and we all breathe the same air. After a person works in a country, and after his work and actions contribute to the development and prosperity of that country, he should be respected and treated as an equal.

There are other schools, besides catholic schools these girls can go into, adaption to irish culture within ireland.

 @9J47M3GSinn Féinanswered…2mos2MO

People of other religions shouldn’t have to attend Catholic schools and there should be more non denominational religion schools

 @9HTJD7LFine Gaelanswered…3mos3MO

If it is there choice and they receive the same education as all the other students, including sexual education and LBGTQI+ inclusion

 @9HPSHVSGreenfrom 24 answered…3mos3MO

I don’t believe in religiously aligned education but I also believe that people should be allowed express themselves as they fit: be it wearing traditional clothes or dying their hair and wearing earrings

 @9HBJLPVSocial Democratsanswered…4mos4MO

It's a question of whether the girls are honestly choosing to wear them or whether they are forced to.

 @9H9LCJJanswered…4mos4MO

No, we should we respect their religion by letting them wear one if they arent gonna respects ours by wearing one in the first place

 @9GK6HGFanswered…5mos5MO

I believe all schools should be secular. Despite people having various beliefs, no religion should restrict someone to not show their head and the fact it’s just women. The people who wear burkas tend to be from somewhere where treatment of women is poor and they’re forced to wear them. They’re just made to believe it’s for religious purposes.

 @9FYKMDJAontuanswered…6mos6MO

I believe that they should be taken into other rooms to learn about their religion if not i would say they should not be thought religion if they don’t want to be

 @9FVV9RSanswered…6mos6MO

It depends on wether the school is public or private, public schools yes. Private schools can make their own rules

 @9FVS95Zanswered…6mos6MO

yes, i think that they should be allowed to wear the niqab or burka and that we should respect their religion but i don't think that the school should accept lots of muslim girls because if they do this they are going to lose their catholic beliefs and instead the school might turn into to a muslim school.

 @9FKHBJCFine Gaelanswered…6mos6MO

Depends on the circumstance, if the catholic school is a state school and the only option then yes but if it’s a private school or chosen over a educate together then no because everyone else has to follow the rule and if we went to their country we would have to cover up so

 @9DYLQGNanswered…7mos7MO

No, except when there are no Muslim or no/multi religion schools in the area.

 @9DWQX7Danswered…7mos7MO

I think schools should not be run by religious organisations. If student chooses to wear religious garb that's entirely up to the.

 @9C38947answered…10mos10MO

 @9BZH9B6answered…11mos11MO

Niqab yes, Burka No, I am against the tradition that a woman should be completely covered up in our culture.

 @9BT2KW5answered…11mos11MO

 @99ZS5JDanswered…1yr1Y

yes, and religion should completely be separate from the school system

 @99WGQJNanswered…1yr1Y

We should not have any catholic schools, religion has no place in public education.

 @8ZWVM89answered…2yrs2Y

Yes aslong as our beliefs and culture was respected in the same way in their schools and communities and we didn't have to dress certain ways to suit them.it works both ways

 @8ZBGP6KSinn Féinanswered…2yrs2Y

 @8YYYXXKIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes. Remove the Catholic Church and Church of Ireland from schools too.

 @8YGKD6Xanswered…2yrs2Y

While acknowledging that Catholic schools should have their traditions respected, we should also ask if there is any real alternative for others. The vast majority of primary and secondary schools in Ireland are Catholic
