§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he would exert his influence with the Treasury to procure such modifications in Rules 12 and 17 of the Commissioners for National Education in Ireland as to permit of the one-third which, under these rules, is not granted to build vested schools, being advanced by the Board of Works on good local security?
§ MR. TREVELYANI am not prepared to press this matter on the Treasury, as there is little reason to suppose that they would consent to the proposition. It does not seem unreasonable to expect that a locality interested should meet a grant of two-thirds of the cost of erecting a school house by supplying the remaining third.
