§ MR. O'HANLON (Cavan, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has seen the following paragraph in the Daily Express of the 24th February, 1890—
Bailieborough National School.—The examinations in this school were held in March, 1889, and as yet neither have the results been made known nor the premiums distributed;and will he explain the cause of the delay which has occurred?
§ MR. MADDENThe Commissioners of National Education report that the results of the examinations of Bailieborough Model Schools held in March, 1889, were duly communicated to the teachers, and the pupils entitled to promotion on the results were duly promoted. The Commissioners do not now award premiums to the pupils of Model Schools for passing the annual results examinations. There was no delay.
