No. Ireland Finds No School Aid Difficulty COVINGTON (NC)Federal aid to' Catholic schools is a well-established and smoothly running operation in Northern I~eland, the Protestant-dominated area which is part of the United Kingdom. Father Peter McConville, ecclesiastical inspector of schools for the Diocese of Dromore, said here that the Irish Catholic schools receive two-thirds 'of the costs of building, and maintenance, the total cost of teachers' salaries, ang the textbooks they need-all from the state. . "It all works very well," said the Irish priest, who IS visiting professor of sociology at Villa Madonna College, Covington. No Interference Does state aid to Catholic schools lead to interference? "Not in the slightest," said Father McConville. "In my five years as inspector I've never had the slightest difficulty with the Ministry of Education." The ministry determines which textbooks are to be used for secular subjects, he said, but if Catholic authorities object to any particular text their objection is taken seriously. Most of the teachers at the . elementary level in the Catholic system are, lay men and women" he said. Religious - nuns and brothers-receive from the state the, same salary paid to lay people. The hiring of teachers for the Catholic schools is left to 'the ,pastor, who. is by virtue' of that job,' also manager o.f the ,school in his parish. Secondary schools 'in the ,Catholic system are managed by a board of pastors.
