IPPN director Sean Cottrell said that 20 years ago the parish priest could come in and all the pupils would be lined up for their First Confession, but that was no longer the case.
He said principals believed that the opposite was the case at present, with virtually all responsibility being left with the school to prepare children for sacraments and provide for children's faith formation and religious instruction.
The increased bureaucracy had changed the role of the principal in the last 20 years and much time was taken up with paperwork and administrative duties, she said.

 Dáil Éireann - Volume 532 - 07 March, 2001 - Written Answers. - Primary Principals Network Survey.
I appreciate that the many new developments in primary education in recent years have significantly increased the responsibilities of principal teachers, and all the indications are that the pace of change will continue in the foreseeable future.
In recognition of the onerous responsibilities associated with their positions, primary principal teachers receive allowances, which range from £4,886 to £15,205 per year, depending on the number of pupils enrolled in the school.
The introduction of release time for principals in primary schools with less than seven mainstream class teachers in the current school year is of major significance to school authorities and principals.

The purpose of the amendment is to provide that the Irish Primary Principals' Network would have a nominating right for two members in the 11 places reserved on the teaching council for primary school representatives.
On one hand he seems to imply that school principals have a legitimate voice which should be heard while, on the other, he is closing the door on the manner in which they can secure representation on the teaching council.
School principals have a key role to play in the education system and it is vital that they be represented on the teaching council.

 Sinn Féin: Sean Crowe opens debate on Special Needs Education
Principals in particular bear a heavy responsibility under the Act and as time passes the pressure on them will undoubtedly increase.
As the IPPN states: "The provision of resources on a quota basis where many schools' total resourcing will disimprove, does not appear to be compatible with the thrust of the Act.
Our motion focuses on primary education but it is important also to point out that there is a huge shortfall in the provision of special needs education at second level.

"The role of the Principal in primary schools is hugely important — they are the leaders of the school and they can generate the positive environment that is required for the whole school community to thrive," said the Minister for Education and Science, Ms Mary Hanafin TD, today (Friday, 4th February).

William Cecil (Lord Burghley) and First Secretary Sir Francis Walsingham, Burghley's spymaster, also sought to taint Campion with the brush of treason by maintaining that the primary goal of his mission was to incite the English to rebel against Queen Elizabeth and replace her with Mary, Queen of Scots.
