What were two objectives on his return to Ireland?

1) Establish the Gaelic League. The Gaelic League was founded in 1893 by Hyde to promote the Irish language and culture. Hyde was elected its first president and served in that role until 1899. The Gaelic League was a major force in the Irish Revival, and it helped to popularise Irish culture among the general public.

2) Promote Irish literature and culture. Hyde was a prolific writer and translator, and he helped to popularise Irish literature and culture both at home and abroad. He wrote several books and articles on Irish history and culture, and he also translated many Irish texts into English. His work helped to raise the profile of Irish literature and culture internationally.
