HC Deb 06 March 1884 vol 285 cc646-7
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is a fact that, in consequence of the absence of Lord O'Hagan and of the O'Conor Don from the meetings of the Commissioners of Intermediate Education in Ireland, considerable delay has taken place in the publication of the results of the Intermediate Examinations, and injury to the other business of the Board; and, if so, will he provide a remedy against such delay?

MR. TREVELYAN

, in reply, said, the Commissioners of Intermediate Education informed him that no such delay or injury to the business of the Board had occurred either in the manner suggested or from any other cause. He might add that he was told—and it was within his own cognizance—that the O'Conor Don had been presiding at Kingstown, and attending the Board very closely.
