Abstract
While higher education did not feature prominently in the
public consciousness during the first four decades of political
independence, the following twenty years witnes~ed a remarkable
degree of analysis and appraisal ~nd a level of action on a range of
fronts which transformed the p-rovision and profile of higher
education in Irish society. By 1960 the Government accepted that
the whole question of third-level education needed to be examined
and that third-level education would be a crucial element in the
planned socio-economic development of the sta~e. With thi~ end in
view the Minister for Education, Dr. Hillery, appomted a
twenty-eight person commission on Higher Education. It held its
inaugural meeting on the 8th November, 1960.
