The Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in primary schools is recommending radical changes to the way religion is taught in Ireland.

It says around fifty schools should be divested from the Catholic Church – and all other schools should become more diverse in their teachings.

Four towns in County Tipperary are among those which are included – Carrick on Suir, Clonmel, Thurles and Tipperary.

The report says 'faith formation' should be taught outside of school hours – and the displaying of religious artefacts should not be exclusive to one faith.

Speaking at the INTO annual conference in Killarney, General Secretary Sheila Nunan said implementing these changes will require a lot of planning.
