§ MR. BIGGARasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it is true the head teacher of Quay Street National School, Sligo, has not been paid his salary for three months ending on 30th June last; and, that the same teacher has not been paid for two months in 1878, when master of Derryknockevan National School; and, if so, can he give any reason?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the salary of the head teacher of Quay Street School was paid some days ago. There had been some slight delay, for which, however, the Education Department was not responsible. It arose from an irregularity in the form of application. The salary earned by the same teacher in two months in 1878 was remitted to the manager of Derryknockevan School in November of that year, and the Commissioners of National Education have not had any complaint made that it was not duly received by the teacher.
