		The history of Irish poetry is complicated by the fact that since at least the 14th century it has been the history of two poetries, one in Irish language and the other in English language.
		Another source of early Irish poetry is the poems in the tales and sagas, such as the Táin Bó Cúailnge.
		John Hewitt (1907-1987), who many consider to be the founding father of Northern Irish poetry, also came from a rural background but lived in Belfast and was amongst the first Irish poets to write of the sense of alienation that many at this time felt from both their original rural and new urban homes.

		The University of London and the University of Wales are unusual in that their colleges/constituent institutions are treated as universities in their own right.
		English and Welsh undergraduate students (and students from other EU countries) have to pay a proportion of their university fees up to a maximum of £1,175 (in 2004/5); this is assessed on the basis of the income of the student and of the student's parents, a process known as means testing.
		Following an investigation into the future of universities, the July 1997 report of the [1] (http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/ncihe/), chaired by the then Sir recommended the ending of universal free higher education, and that students should pay £1,000 towards the cost of their tuition fees, which would be recovered in the form of a graduate tax.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Universities
		Still, celibacy was not universally enforced; there were married professors of medicine at Salerno, and at the university of the Roman Curia, which was under the direct supervision of the pope, the masters of law had their wives and children.
		In other German universities the requirement of celibacy remained longer in force, owing in part, at least, to the fact that many of the chairs were endowed with the revenue of canonries; but this did not imply that laymen were excluded from university positions.
		The Austrian universities, though injured in the eighteenth century by Jansenism and modified in the nineteenth by various reforms, have still retianed the teaching of theology in the faculties of Graz, Innsbruck, Cracow, Lemberg, Prague, Olmutz, Salzburg, and Vienna; and in Hungary at Agram and Budapest.

		The Act, introduced by the government of David Lloyd George, divided Ireland into two territories, Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, each intended to be self-governing except in areas specifically reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom: chief amongst these were matters relating to the Crown, to defence, foreign affairs, international trade, and currency.
		Northern Ireland as defined by the Act, amounting to six of the nine counties of Ulster, was seen as the maximum area within which unionists could be expected have a safe majority,
		The Treaty provided for the ability of Northern Ireland's Parliament, by formal address, to opt out of the new Irish Free State, which was a foregone conclusion.

	Irish Flag
		The color orange is associated with Northern Irish Protestants because of William of Orange (William III), the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland who in 1690 defeated the deposed King James II, a Roman Catholic, in the fateful Battle of the Boyne near Dublin.
		An earlier, unofficial Irish flag —the gold harp on a green background— served from 1798 until the early twentieth century as a symbol of nationalism.
		Irish revolutionary was just one of Meagher's careers: he was also a prisoner in a Tasmanian penal colony, a New York City lawyer, and a Civil War general for the Union Army.

		There have been concerns in recent years that mature students were being deterred from applying to university because of the introduction of tuition fees.
		The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service says that among UK-based students, there has been a 9% increase in applications from 21 to 24 year olds and 1.36% for 25 year olds and over.
		Applications to English universities by Scottish students fell by 13% and to Northern Irish universities by 14% - perhaps suggesting that students have less appetite for universities in parts of the UK charging tuition fees.

		Fewer people are applying for universities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland than last year, while the number applying to Scottish universities has risen.

		Northern Irish research has a relative lack of international impact, seemingly a function of topics and the journals used.
