Is our Education "Minister" a liar.....

....or merely unfit for purpose?

Worst devolved minister in the whole wide United Kingdom?
Catriona Ruane seems determined to give Edwin Poots a run for his money.

From a post way back in November:
""EDUCATION Minister Caitriona Ruane has revealed she intends to scrap a law giving Northern Ireland children priority over those from the Republic when enrolling in Northern Ireland's schools.

Ms Ruane has advised school principals by letter and on the Department of Education website, that the legislation may be in breach of EU equality rules and parents' right to choice."

Wrong.
Not in breach of EU Equality Rules.
As confirmed by the people who should know,the European Union (via Jim Allister).

Hat-tip Beano.
