	Comprehensive school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The secretary of state for education at the time was Margaret Thatcher, who went on to be a vociferous critic of comprehensive education.
		These schools were introduced in to the Republic of Ireland in the 1966 by an initiative by Patrick Hillery, Minister for Education, to give a broader range of education compared to that of the vocational school system which was then the only system of schools completely controlled by the state.
		Until this time education in Ireland was largely dominated by religious persuasion, and in particular the voluntary secondary school system was a particular realisation of this.

	Dáil Éireann - Volume 97 - 15 May, 1945 - Committee on Finance. - Vote 45—Office of the Minister for Education ...
		I appeal to the Minister to restore that scale, or a scale on the same lines, without further delay, so as to satisfy the teachers that their appeal, which is backed by the clerical managers and by the Bishops of the country, is being considered.
		The broad distinction between primary and secondary education is generally that in the primary school all the work is done in the vernacular, whereas in the secondary schools in addition to the vernacular, there is another language or possibly two or three taught.
		I say to the Minister in all sincerity that I believe children are expected to take in too much during the brief period they are at the primary schools and, as a result, they are not being fitted for this modern world in which we live.

	Patrick Hillery's Reform of Irish Education
		Hillery was Minister for Education from 1959 to 1965 and was one of the longest serving Ministers for Education since the establishment of the Irish Department of Education in 1922.
		During this time as Minister for Education there was growing political party competition by Fine Gael and Labour on education policies and this exercised pressure on Hillery to speed up change.
		A Government statement in 1959 committed it to educational expansion and a statement by Hillery in 1963 was more specific and mentioned the concept of Regional Technical Colleges which were opened in the late sixties in Waterford, Carlow, Athlone and Galway and added to in the seventies in other locations throughout the country.

		A recent report from a leading authority on third-level education, Prof Malcolm Skilbeck, said the sector in the Republic lacked overall direction, and terms of reference for the review by the Paris-based group are now being finalised.
