Information about
the exceptional circumstances process
and how to make an application to
the Exceptional Circumstances Body (ECB), which is
"... a Body established by the
Department of Education to process, from 1 June 2010, applications from
parents which relate to admissions to post-primary school (Years 8 to 12
only). The exceptional circumstances process will:
Consider parents’ claims that their child has exceptional
circumstances which mean that he/she must attend a specific
post-primary school;
Decide for each application whether exceptional circumstances exist;
and
Direct the necessary admission if an application is successful." - page 1
