## Resource

In Limerick, Ireland, a major disconnect is emerging: nearly all primary schools are still run by religious groups, yet 40% of parents want multi-denominational options. With only 155 such schools nationwide out of over 3,000—and just four in Limerick—choice is severely limited. New approval rules now prioritize population numbers, blocking new schools even when demand exists. Local communities are now rallying to assess the impact and push for change, revealing a nationwide mismatch between parental desires and educational offerings.
