That's Ireland for you!
In the UK we also have religious schools which are mostly state funded and who are allowed to discriminate on admissions based on a nebulous concept of 'belief' (basically parents who mostly lie about their religious background or jump through the hoops of getting their child accepted into the school's admissions process).
It's a massive stain on the UK (and Ireland), two of the most developed states in the world, to have an education system which is still based on an archaic and outdated concept of controlled admissions based on belief. Utterly ridiculous.
