DescriptionLetter from Cullen to Corrigan laying out his views on the education question. Cullen states that Corrigan has ignored the question of catholic intermediate schools, which need to be put on the same footing as protestant ones. He argues that university education favours protestants through Trinity College and the Queen's Colleges and insist the only solution is a catholic run college. In relation to catholic schools he insists that nothing less than Catholic schools, teachers, books and inspectors will satisfy the Catholics of Ireland. He ends by suggesting the only way for Corrigan to regain the support of the catholics is to publish a complete retraction of his earlier support of mixed education, 'a distinct condemnation of those colleges and of the principles on which they are founded.
