§ Mr. WILLIAM O'BRIENasked the Chief Secretary whether he had yet come to a decision as to how the funds contributed by the Irish county councils can be in part devoted to enabling exceptionally clever boys and girls from the primary schools to obtain a university training?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Irish county councils can raise money to maintain clever boys and girls at the university. The gap between the primary schools and the university must, as the law now stands, be filled by funds derived from other sources. I do not propose to introduce legislation on the subject.
