===Ireland=== [[File:DroghedaGrammarSchool.JPG|thumb|right|[[Drogheda Grammar School]] (1669)]] Education in the [[Republic of Ireland]] has traditionally been organised on [[Christian denomination|denominational]] lines. Grammar schools along the lines of those in Great Britain were set up for members of the [[Church of Ireland]] prior to its [[disestablishment]] in 1871. Some schools remain, as private schools catering largely for Protestant students. These are often fee-paying and accommodate boarders, given the scattered nature of the Protestant population in much of Ireland. Such schools include [[Bandon Grammar School]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bandongrammar.ie/ |access-date=15 April 2010 |title=Bandon Grammar School}}</ref> [[Drogheda Grammar School]], [[Dundalk Grammar School]] and [[Sligo Grammar School]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sligogrammarschool.org/about.htm |publisher=Sligo Grammar School |title= About the school |quote=The school is one of a small number of schools in the Republic of Ireland under Church of Ireland management |access-date=13 February 2007}}</ref> Others are among the many former fee-paying schools absorbed into larger state-funded [[community school (Ireland)|community schools]] founded since the introduction of universal secondary education in the Republic by minister [[Donogh O'Malley]] in September 1967. Examples include [[Cork Grammar School]], replaced by [[Ashton School]], a co-educational comprehensive, in 1972.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ashton.ie/history.htm |access-date=13 February 2007 |title=Ashton School: history |quote=Ashton School, as a comprehensive school, was founded in September 1972 when Rochelle School and Cork Grammar School merged on the Grammar School site. |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202075137/http://ashton.ie/history.htm |archive-date=2 February 2007 }}</ref>
