asked the Minister for Education if he will furnish the information necessary to update Table D.3, appendix IX, page 580 covering all schools, of the report Investment in Education (volume of annexes and appendices).
With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos 554 and 555 together. The statistical information for the purpose of these tables was complied on the basis of information received by way of a special questionnaire to school managers. It has not since been considered necessary for the statistical requirements of the Department to compile such information and it is not available in relation to any later date than 1963-64.
