Answer 1

"The majority of schools at second level are private secondary schools, 432 with approximately 60% of total intake, mostly owned and managed by religious orders; some by individuals or Boards of Governors."
"It has been said that Irish education has a unique pattern of ownership and management, an apparently contradictory situation of private ownership and control combined with substantial public finding, largely for historical reasons."

"Most of the Private fee paying secondary schools in Ireland are around the Dublin area - but there are a few outside Dublin."
