asked the Minister for Education the total number of corrective training schools in the country; and the total number of places provided in these schools.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Corrective Training Schools.
16.
The term "corrective training school" is not an official designation.
The number of reformatories is three with a total number of 170 places available.
The number of industrial schools catering for children committed for offences is three with a total number of 320 places available.
It should be pointed out, however, that the total number of committals is far less than the total number of places available.
Will the Minister tell me when it is intended to close Marlborough House?
I shall be dealing with that later on.
