asked the Minister for Education if he will publish a table, similar to Table 1.2 in the Investment in Education Report, showing the number of children at each age in different types of education, for the most recent year for which this information is available.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Education: Statistics.
105.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I intend to circulate with the Official Report the corresponding table relating to the position on the 1st February, 1967. The data for 1st February, 1968, and 1st February, 1969, are not yet available because replies have so far not been received from all the institutions concerned.
Following is the table:—
