In conclusion, I am very disappointed with my own alma mater, NUI Galway, or UCG as it was in my time, whose governing authority took a decision recently that the Irish language would not be a requirement for the next president of the college. This went through on the nod. Fair play to Deputy Catherine Connolly, who raised it in the Dáil. The Minister, Deputy Bruton, shrugged his shoulders and said that the university's decision was something he could not interfere with.
