asked the Minister for Education the number of school leavers from full-time education who will be available to enter the labour force in mid-1973, distinguishing between school-leavers from first-level education, from junior cycle of second-level education with separate figures for secondary and vocational schools, from senior cycle of second-level education with separate figures for secondary and vocational schools and from third level education.

The following is the estimated number of leavers from schools and colleges in mid-1973.
