Vol. 65 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Reformatory and Industrial Schools.

asked the Minister for Education if he will state the total average weekly cost per head for each of the years 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936 of maintaining the persons committed to reformatory and industrial schools in Saorstát Eireann.

The total average weekly contribution per head for the three years 1933, 1934 and 1935 was 13/2, 12/7 and 12/6 respectively for reformatory schools, and 11/9 (each year) for industrial schools; information for the year 1936 is not yet available. The figures I have given represent the total average expenditure for all purposes, including education; no information is available as to what proportion of this expenditure is devoted to maintenance, as distinct from other charges.
