§ CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that efforts are being made to secure that a knowledge of the Irish language shall be a condition imposed on those desirous of matriculating at the new State-aided University in Dublin; and whether he will take the steps necessary to insure that no such restriction is brought into force.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Executive Government has no voice in the matter of determining what shall be the subject of the matriculation examination at either of the new Universities.
