asked the Minister for Education if he will state the total number of children who left the primary schools in each of the years 1951 to the most recent date for which figures are available.

I would direct the Deputy's attention to my reply to question No. 123.
The amount of work and time involved in preparing the information given in that reply was such that I feel I would not be warranted in endeavouring to have similar information prepared for the years 1951 to 1958. Furthermore it is unlikely that the information would vary to any appreciable extent from year to year.
