asked the Minister for Education the percentage of passes in the primary certificate in each of the last five years; the percentage of passes in schools teaching through the medium of Irish; and the percentage where such was not the case.

The answer to the first part of the question is as follows:—
|
1959— |
83.9% |
|
1960— |
85.8% |
|
1961— |
83.3% |
|
1962— |

The statistics available in my Department relate to all schools and do not differentiate as between schools where all the instruction is given through Irish and other schools. I am arranging, however, to have a break down on these lines of the statistics for 1963 and the resultant information will be furnished to the Deputy in due course.
