An introductory guide for students and researchers in the history of Irish education from 1780-1922.

The guide outlines the key issues of education policy and evaluates the wealth of official reports available to the historian of Irish education, both in the British Parliamentary Papers and in archival repositories such as the National Archives of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland.
