70.
asked the Minister for Education the number of secondary schools which provide facilities for pupils attending vocational or technical schools to study subjects prescribed in the leaving certificate curriculum; and the percentage of the total number of secondary schools comprised by this number.
I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 69 and 70 together.
While my Department does every thing possible to encourage co-operation between secondary schools and vocational schools wherever such is necessary and practicable these schools are not required to furnish details to the Department of every instance where such co-operation takes place.
The information which would be required to answer the Deputy's questions is not therefore available.
