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.

Press release, an extract from a recent address to Coiste Chathair Átha Cliath de Chonradh na Gaeilge, by Mícheál Mac Aonghusa, member of Coiste Gnó. It refers to the statement issued the previous week, (see G44/1/1/6), and cites the lack of Irish language textbooks, and a fanatical hostile campaign waged against Irish in the schools as reasons for the change from Irish language instruction. Draws on Pádraig Pearse's study on the English education system in Ireland, 'The Murder Machine', arguing that freedom for the individual, and inspiration are both elements that are currently lacking in the current educational system.
