§ MR. C. J. O'DONNELL (Newington, Walworth)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland what provision he proposes to make for the University education of Catholics in Ulster, who form half the population of that province, seeing that no facilities are given to them in the Irish Universities Bill, whilst two colleges, Belfast and Magee, are provided for Presbyterians, who form only one-third of the population of Ulster.
§ MR. BIRRELLI do not propose to make any further provision for University education.
§ MR. C. J. O'DONNELLWill the hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of providing a college for West Ulster where most of the Catholics are?
§ MR. BIRRELLI cannot do more fit the present moment than promote the interests of the University of Belfast, and I hope they will attend there.
§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)Will the Catholics there not have the same privileges as the non-Catholics of Cork and Dublin?
§ MR. BIRRELLPrecisely so.
