Good morning colleagues, 

The Irish Times leads this morning with an education story, about how almost all the schools inspected for a sample study had clauses in their admissions policies which could restrict the enrolment of children with autism and other learning difficulties. 

There's good news about Cliona Ward, the US green card holder and Irish citizen who had been arrested and imprisoned in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centre last week. She was released yesterday after her preliminary hearing. Among those campaigning for Cliona's release were her union colleagues in the Services Employees International Union.
