HC Deb 14 June 1880 vol 252 cc1898-9
MR. ERRINGTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether his attention has been directed to the disadvantages under which the teachers of Workhouse National Schools at present labour in. being excluded from sharing in result fees, and to the importance of extending to them the benefits of the system of rewarding them for the results of their exertions; and, also, whether he will direct inquiry to be made into the working of "The National School Teachers' Residences (Ireland) Act, 1875," and endeavour to make its provisions more effective to carry out their objects?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

In consequence of the hon. Member's Notice I have applied for information in Ireland, and the Education officer has sent me two large memorandums on the subject of his Questions which are too long to read to the House. I have looked carefully into the Questions, but have been unable as yet to form an opinion on the subject.
