Archbishop of Dublin Congratulates New Minister for Education and Skills
Archbishop Michael Jackson has this evening congratulated the newly appointed Minister for Education and Skills. He stated:
"As chairman of the General Synod Board of Education (RI) of the Church of Ireland, and as a school patron at both primary and second level, I congratulate Ms Norma Foley, TD, on her appointment as the next Minister for Education and Skills.
"Ms Foley is a member of the teaching profession and I have no doubt that her practical experience in the classroom will be of enormous benefit in her new portfolio, especially at this time of planning to reopen schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I look forward to working with the new minister and, on behalf of the Church of Ireland community, wish her every good fortune in her new role."
