MR. BODKIN (Roscommon, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can now state when the Return in regard to the lesson books of the Irish National School Board, which was ordered some months ago, will be laid upon the Table of the House?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Board of National Education report that with every pressure on the staff to close the Return at an early date it will not be possible, in view of the other heavy engagements of the Office, to complete it for presentation until the end of the current month.
