Secular Schools Ireland was a patron body for national schools in Ireland.[2] It was a voluntary organisation seeking to establish the country's first secular primary schools.[3][4]

They were initially refused recognition, but were later allowed government recognition after legal action.[4][5]

The organization was dissolved in January 2020.[1]
