asked the Minister for Education whether it is the policy of his Department to encourage the teaching of subjects through Irish and to encourage an increase in the number of A type secondary schools; and, if so, whether he will take immediate steps to ameliorate the present situation with regard to the provision of text books in Irish, having regard to the fact that at present, as stated by the Council of Education, there is not a subject of the curriculum for which a full range of text-books is available, and even standard works are not available for some subjects.
