Jim Cooke vividly describes the people who worked for the cause of vocational and technical education their idealism, vision, leadership, commitment and sense of mission. Through their considerable political skills, they succeeded in forging broadly based alliances in pursuit of their goals. Through their dedication and determination, Ireland became endowed with a statutory system of education that is democratically controlled, multi-denominational, co-educational and highly responsive to local and emerging needs.
