204.
Mrs. Owen
asked the
Minister for Education
whether her attention has been drawn to the fact that the 800th anniversary of the founding of The Priory of Grace Dieu, near Blakes Cross, Corduff, north County Dublin, takes place this year; whether she will mark this occasion in some way in view of the fact that this was one of the earliest educational centres for women in Ireland, founded in 1190, at a time when very little formal education was available to women; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke):
No proposals have been put to me or my Department in relation to this anniversary.
