This thesis examines three major themes of Catholic educationin Northern Ireland. Firstly, the thesis analyses the Catholicauthorities' efforts to maintain clerical control of Catholicschools in Northern Ireland from 1921 to the Education (NorthernIreland) Order of October 1993, concentrating upon the eventssurrounding the major education laws of 1923,1925,1930,1947 and1968, and the Orders - in - Council of 1989 and 1993. The thesisalso estimates the financial and educational price paid by NorthernIreland's Catholics to maintain a network of autonomousdenominational schools.Secondly, the thesis assesses the impact of the 'Gaelic'features of Catholic schools upon education policy, to determinewhether national issues influenced the decisions of either theCatholic authorities or the devolved government.Thirdly, the thesis studies the Catholic authorities' responseto the success of the campaign in recent decades for integratedschools, educating Catholic and Protestant children in 'sharedschools'.The thesis relies upon five major sources; the recordscontained in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, theCatholic Church's archives for the Down and Connor diocese, thedebates of the Northern Ireland and United Kingdom Parliaments, thenewspapers reports of the Irish News and the Belfast Telegraph, andthe Ministry of Education's Annual Reports
