HC Deb 06 March 1912 vol 35 cc387-8
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that the calendar of the National University of Ireland does not contain information corresponding to that comprised in other university calendars and that the university officials do not supply information asked from them; and whether he will have placed in the Library a statement of the number of lectures given in the last scholastic year, and the number prescribed for the current scholastic year, in each subject by each professor in the National University at Dublin and in the Queen's University at Belfast, respectively?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)

I have nothing to say to the officials of the National University and have no control whatever over its calendar.

Captain CRAIG

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that nothing that this Nationalist University does corresponds with anything that the other university does?

Mr. BIRRELL

It is the precise contrary.
