366 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Education the number and location by county of primary schools which had a seventh class or repeat sixth class in each of the schools years 1984-1985, 1988-1989 and 1992-1993.
I regret that the information requested by the Deputy is not available on a county basis. The only information available is in relation to the number of pupils enrolled who has previously completed sixth standard in a national school. Figures for the 1992-93 school year are not available, however I have included statistics for the 1991-92 school year, the latest year for which statistics are available.
