The Industrial Schools Act (Ireland) 1868[a] or the Industrial Schools (Ireland) Act 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. 25) was an act of Parliament which created industrial schools in Ireland to care for neglected, orphaned and abandoned children.[1]
To prevent proselytism or changes in the religion of a child committed, Catholic and Protestant children were sent to separate schools.[2]
Subsequent developments
The whole act was repealed by section 134(3) of, and the third schedule to, the Children Act 1908 (8 Edw. 7. c. 67).
