asked the Minister for Education (a) the total number of honours graduates in science who entered secondary teaching as registered teachers in the period from 31st January 1951 to 31st July 1961; and (b) how many of these were still engaged in secondary teaching in the Republic in 1961-62.
The information sought in these questions necessitates an examination of the application forms of all teachers who have applied for registration since 1st January, 1951. This investigation is proceeding and if the Deputy repeats his question in a fortnight, I hope to be in a position to supply him with information in the matter.
