CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, owing to the action of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Dublin and Maynooth. the Roman Catholic laity of Ireland have hitherto been forbidden to enter for the Arts course in any of the three Queen's Colleges of Belfast, Cork, or Galway; and whether he proposes to obtain the assent of the Vatican or its representatives in this country to the Roman Catholic laity attending the new Roman Catholic University to be established in Dublin before the Lord-Lieutenant names the appointed day for dissolving the Royal University and before any of the sum voted by Parliament is spent on erecting the new college for Roman Catholics in Dublin.
§ MR. BIRRELLI have no such intention.
