HC Deb 01 August 1911 vol 29 c186
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he will state the number of students attending each of the Irish training colleges in the year ended June, 1911; the number of such students in each college who studied Irish during their course; the number in each college who entered for the final certificate; the number of hours per week in each college which each student has the services of the Irish professor; and whether he will state the number in each college who qualified in 1910 to teach Irish?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his question on this subject on the 20th July. The Commissioners of National Education have no information as to the number of students in the training colleges who studied Irish during their course as distinct from those who entered for the certificate examination in that language.
