Adjournment Matter. - Conservatory of Music and Drama.
When the Dublin Institute of Technology structures were drafted, the following phrase came from the statement of Dr. Goldsmith "It is recommended that Dublin Institute of Technology should retain first and second level only until an alternative arrangement is put in place that the Dublin Institute of Technology should seek to provide a junior school for the very talented 1%, who might be expected to pursue a career in music performance." That is elitism and goes against the fundamental ethos under which, in apparently more liberal days, this college was established.
