One voluntary society that existed in Ireland in the 19th century was The Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in Ireland. It was founded in 1811 and it was also known as the Kildare Place Society, because its offices and model schools were located in Kildare Place, Dublin. They gave grants to help build schools and pay teachers across Ireland. The Society also produced textbooks and teaching manuals for its schools.

This picture is of the main offices of The Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in Ireland, in 1825. Schools that joined the Kildare Place Society had to follow the society's rules. One of these rules was that schools were to be non-denominational, which meant that they were not to teach about a particular religion. Instead, the Bible was to be read in schools 'without note or comment'.
What did the British Government do?
In 1815 the British government,
which controlled Ireland at that time, decided to help Kildare Place Society continue its voluntary work by giving it some government funding. The government continued to help fund Kildare Place Society until 1831.
