HC Deb 15 March 1875 vol 222 cc1807-8
MR. O'CLERY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If it is the intention of the Government to consider the claim of the national teachers engaged in Irish workhouse schools to payment by results fees, having regard to the fact that such teachers have been debarred this payment during the three years in which the result system has been in operation, though required to carry out all its details?

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH

, in reply, said, that before he submitted to the House the proposals he sketched out the other evening, the claims of the national teachers engaged in Irish work-house schools to payment by results fees would be fully considered; but he might point out that these persons did not occupy exactly the same position as teachers in the ordinary schools.
