§ MR. GRAYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it is a fact that a moiety of the result fees promised by the Intermediate Education Board of Ireland in their printed regulations for 1881, on account of students who passed the examinations which concluded in July 1881, was still unpaid; and, if so, whether any remedy will be immediately applied to prevent the insolvency of a public board and avoid actions at law for breach of contract being brought against it?
§ MR. TREVELYANIt is the fact that the Intermediate Education Board were unable to pay out of the income of 1881 more than half of each admitted claim for results fees on account of the examinations in July of that year. The second moiety of the results fees, amounting to £6,590, still remains due. A Bill dealing with this matter has already had a third reading in "another place," and seems to have a fair prospect of becoming law.
