As explained to the Deputy in my reply to a similar question in July last, the information supplied periodically by the schools to the Department does not indicate the number of pupils in separate classes under each teacher and the number of classes in each classroom. I am arranging to have these particulars collected from each of the schools in the County Borough of Dublin. When the particulars are available the information requested by the Deputy will be furnished to him. The information will relate to the position on October 1, 1956.
