Mr. R. Burke
Educational facilities for trainee journalists are available in the College of Commerce, Rathmines, where a course in journalism is conducted by the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee.
Thirteen, 14 and 19 students have successfully completed that course during the school years 1970-71, 1971-72 and 1972-73 respectively.
My Department have no information about the number of those students who subsequently obtained suitable employment.
