Education Policy: Statements
1:00 am
Ned O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail)
We studied a seven-subject syllabus, including Latin and Greek. There was no art, music or career guidance, but our education incorporated a human element, even in mathematics, which I suspect is lacking these days. This system produced people such as John B. Keane, Bryan McMahon, Brendan Kennelly, George Fitzmaurice and Maurice Walsh.
