asked the Minister for Education the number of students in each of the Irish universities taking the following subjects for a pass degree: (a) continental languages, specifying the numbers taking each language, (b) Physics, (c) Chemistry, (d) Biology, (e) Botany and (f) Economics in each of the years 1950-1959.
A Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, I propose to take Questions 30 and 31 together.
The official publications in which information of the nature sought by the Deputy is available are (1) University
Statistics and (2) the Statistical Abstract (Tables 213 to 219). Both are complied by the Central Statistics Office and published by the Stationery Office. I have no doubt but that the more detailed information sought by the Deputy will on application be made available by the Colleges concerned.
