asked the Minister for Education if, in view of the special needs of members of the Church of Ireland and other non-Roman Catholic religions in regard to education, he will grant aid to boarding schools to ensure that the children of members of these minority religions may have an education in keeping with the wishes of their parents; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would refer the Deputy to the reply to a similar question in the Official Report, Volume 321 No. 9, Question No. 29 of 3 June 1980.

Questions Nos. 53 and 54 are for written reply.
