Scope and content
Statement issued by Coiste an Airgid (Standing Committee) de Chonradh na Gaeilge after their fortnightly meeting on 27 September 1968. The meeting was presided over by Maolsheachlainn Ó'Caollaí, President of Conradh na Gaeilge. The statement follows a referendum held in St. Grellan's Boys National School, Ballinasloe on the medium of instruction, the results of which, it is claimed, were falsified. It refers to attempts made by anti-Irish agitators to split the community of Ballinasloe. It outlines the stance of Conradh na Gaeilge on the use of the Irish language in society. Statistics are given on the number of schools in the state, and percentage of these that are Irish speaking. The statement concludes with a demand for equal rights for Irish speakers in all areas of life, but especially in education. There are some handwritten notes on the document in the handwriting of Christopher Morris of the Language Freedom Movement.
