Parochial School Returns 1824
- (From Schools of Kildare and Leighlin 1775-
1835
- by Monsignor M. Brenan, M.A., B.D. D.Ph. P.P.
V.F., Edenderry)
- By kind permission
 On 14 June 1824 the English Government
appointed a Royal Commission consisting of tour Protestants, Thomas F.
Lewis, John L. Foster, William Grant, James Glassford and one Catholic,
Anthony Richard Blake to enquire into the nature and extent education in
Ireland as maintained in whole or in part from public funds, and to report
on how education can be extended to all the people of Ireland.
The
Commission sat until June 1827 and cost toe country £40,000. Dr. Doyle’s
caustic comments on the First Report of the Commission leave no doubt as
to its biased and prejudiced character. A Second Report was issued in due
time by the Commission. Returns consisting of 1 5 queries were sent to
every parish priest or non-Catholic minister.
These were sent back, but
were published only in summary and partial form. The returns themselves
were probably destroyed. The setting up of the Royal Commission only made
Dr. Doyle more cautious and vigilant. He advised his parish priests to
forward duplicate returns to himself. Over three-fourths of these
duplicate parochial returns are preserved in the Bishop’s archives.
These
were published by Monsignor Martin Brenan, P.P., DPh., V.F., Gill, Dublin
1935. Where the parochial returns are-not available, Blue Book Summaries
are supplied. These parochial returns seem to be unique for Kildare and
Leighlin diocese.
