Madam, – Ian French (October 29th) lists the types of school available to Catholic children and those schools available to Protestants. He omits to say that all children in the Republic are entitled to free secondary education in the State schools, ie, those managed by the VECs.
These schools provide free education, are non-denominational and follow the same syllabus as the “free voluntary” and “fee-paying” schools, and are found in most towns. – Yours, etc,
