§ MR. MARUM (Kilkenny, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to the non-payment by the Board of National Education of gratuities for instruction paid to monitors for the year ending June 30, 1887 (especially in reference to the Boys' National School of Stradbally, in the Queen's County) so long over due; and, whether the Commissioners have a considerable time ago promised payment forthwith, and yet the account is still unpaid?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.), in reply, said, the Commissioners of National Education informed him that a change of teachers had taken place, and the payment of portion of the salary due to the incoming teacher in question was overlooked; but it had since been directed to be paid.
